Request a property history search for completion certificates and decision notices

You can ask us to search our building control records if:

• you're selling your property or have just moved in and need proof of building regulations approval
• you have lost your completion certificate and need a copy

The service costs £95 which is non-refundable.

We can search the past 15 years of a property to find completion certificates and decision notices.

If we hold the information, we can provide a maximum of 6 documents electronically. We can only send these documents to the property owner or a solicitor.

We cannot confirm that we hold documents before you make payment. If no documents are found, the fee is not refundable.

1. Submit the relevant history search for completion certificates or decision notices
2. Business support will contact you to make the payment of the non refundable fee
3. Once received, Business Support will send you the relevant document

You can view building regulations applications online.

If you have had work carried out or have moved into a property and do not have a certificate for work that's been done, you can apply for a regularisation certificate.
