Copies of certificates

Copies of building control completion or regularisation certificates can be purchased by the current owner of the property or someone acting on their behalf (e.g. a solicitor). Please refer our fees and charges for costs or contact us.

To obtain a copy of a building regulation approval, rejection or completion certificate you will need to contact us by email or letter confirming that you are the current owner of the property or act on their behalf and state which documents you would like to request copies of.

Prospective purchasers or neighbours only have access to the information available below.

East Northamptonshire and Wellingborough areas

Applications ending with IN, INX, INW or INDEX are administered by an outside body (e.g. the NHBC or an Approved Inspector). Enquiries should be sent to the seller or approved inspector as the council does not hold these records.

Applications beginning with CPS, CF, EP, GP, OIL, SF, WF are competent person scheme notifications. We don't hold copies of these certificates as they are available from the competent person's scheme.
