Can someone clarify this please...Part Pee

If the homeowner asked the plumber to install XYZ and the plumber said 'okay I will install XYZ under your instruction but YOU need to notify the council'

Thats fine as long as the plumber/contractor issues the necessary certification to the homeowner for the homeowner to notify the LA within the specified timescale (30days) within Part P.

I've often wondered what would happen if they didn't? Can't see my LBC give a damn.

Exactly , I could do a board change tomorrow hand the homeowner a scribbled EIC and say please submit this to the council for PartPee

If they don't , then what....?

Agree. However, as been said before, it can put off potential buyer’s should you try to sell your house.

We all know that no one, LBCs included, is going to give a flying about EICs until there is a fatality or other very serious incident at the property in question. It's all about a signature to pin the blame on.
Living in the rural area that I do, a good proportion of the work I have done is on jobs where no planning permission has been applied for, with the home owner preferring to rely on the soon to be abolished 'four year rule' instead, so it wouldn't go down too well if I submitted paperwork to the authorities.

No one cares about that in the real world

I have brought 2 houses with missing paperwork one a missing Fensa for windows and one a missing cert for a small extension

60 quid a pop for a indemnity and everything went through without a hitch

You could ask for some cash for Not submitting any paperwork

All testing completed and paperwork filled in - then left with the householder.

Exactly how it should be , let them decide if they want to send to the council or not

I think building a property or an extension without planning or notice, is something LBC will go after, depending on its impact.

All an indemnity policy will cover is the legal action. If it’s found against you, it doesn’t include the cost to put right.

When I sold my house a few years ago, I only had one interested buyer, who was (or his solicitor was) very interested in my Compliance docs.

That said, no one would give a scobby about a bathroom refurb with no Part P.

All perfectly legal after four years (or ten, depending on circumstances), as long as all building regs have been complied with.

Think the time limit on enforcement is actually 12 months after works completion in general? And I've read there is scope for a LBC to take out an injunction.
