Sometimes the approval certificate takes ages to come through. I had my loft converted last summer and still haven't had the cert through although I know the inspections were all done and it's been passed. I'd be asking for the details of the building control surveyor that was responsible for it and email him to ask him if it's been passed in principle or not.

Hi all, I wonder if I can trouble the wise minds here for some advice regarding building control sign off certificates (or lack of) for a loft conversion and rear extension. It's now 3 months since our offer was accepted on a place and it appears that the completion certificates for the works do not exist. The loft was done under permitted development in 2016, and the extension had planning approval in 2011. Obviously the alarm bells are ringing but how much of a deal-breaker should this be? I know we can get indemnity insurance but I don't think this helps in the event of the work not having been done properly. Has anyone been through a similar situation?
