or could it be a cert of exemption rather than a cert of compliance?
It's not clear to me what the problem is though. Is the extension ( even at the, to me, very large area stated) actually exempt? Or is it something which did require planning and obtained it but didn't have an engineer supervise the building? Although to be honest in my opinion neither is insurmountable. If works have been inspected now as built and an engineer is prepared to say that they comply with pp ( if necessary) and building regulations ( with the usual caveat being that they cannot inspect works covered up and didnt inspect during building) and if the bank will agree the qualification then I wouldnt see a problem. Houses with this type of cert are bought and sold every day of the week.
architect drew up plans , planning permission all ok and built to that permission. They didn't get an engineer out to supervise/check on work therefore we do not have a cert to say building works were complied with. Yes my surveyor said they may be able to get an engineer out to sign off but not ideal in hindsight. Houses of this type were sold every day of the week during the property boom as people were desperate to buy anything and sod the consequences, it would seem thats changed banks don't release or give out money as easily as in the past.
Sydney100 said:Apparently in the boom gone by people cut corners with extension to save themselves a grand or two didn't get engineers to check work but banks turned a blind eye and so did people desperate to buy anything in the past market. Now it seems banks aren't accepting it anymore nor are buyers, things have changed...
our Solicitor says although not ideal the fact that the bank are releasing the money means when we go to sell the next bank should do the same based on the fact our bank gave it to us,
