Documentation and plan searches
Do you need copies of Building Warrants, Completion Certificates, 'Letters of Comfort' or plans?
The Service may be able to provide applicants with information about properties where Building Warrants, Completion Certificates or ‘Letters of Comfort’ have been issued. It may also be possible to view, or obtain a copy of the plans relating to the specific Building Warrant(s) appropriate to your application. Please note that applicants must receive written permission from the architect before a copy of the plans can be provided by the Service.
Records kept by the Service date from 1981.
Applications must be made by submitting a completed application form or by a written request, together with a fee of £96 for each postal address to be searched by the Service.
It should be noted that this fee is to cover the cost to the Service in searching for the information, and is not a guarantee that the documentation is available. There will be an additional variable fee if copies of plans are required. The amount of the additional fee depends upon the size and number of copies required. When this has been established, an indicative cost can be provided.
The time taken to search for documentation depends on the quality of the information supplied, but the Service aims to respond to:
Domestic properties
90% of applications within 5 working days.
Non-domestic Properties
90% of applications within 8 working days.
