What are you purchasing?

It is essential to know the building regulations and planning permission of a new property before buying it for 2 reasons:

 

Firstly, building regulations ensure that the property has been constructed to a high standard of safety and quality, and that it complies with legal requirements. By understanding the building regulations, you can ensure that the property has been constructed to the required standard, which can help you avoid potential safety hazards and costly repairs.

​

Secondly, planning permission indicates whether the proposed development has been approved by the local planning authority and meets their policies and guidelines. By understanding the planning permission, you can ensure that the property's intended use and design are allowed under local planning regulations, and that it is not at risk of being subject to enforcement action.
