Plannign and building compliance
The good news is that most of your planning documents should be with your title deeds. However, you may have built an extension to the house or carried out other works since you bought it, and this will require additional documentation. The checklist below will help you get organised.
Remember, you don’t need to wait until a specific step in the process is done to apply for these documents. The sooner you can get them to your solicitor, the more likely it is that you can cut out delays. After all, the contract for your property sale can only be issued to the buyer’s solicitor once your solicitor has reviewed the planning and other title documents.
