do you need an architect or quantity surveyor to sign off on an extension?

    I am planning on getting an extension for my kitchen next month. I heard that you need to get an architect to sign off an extension or something if you plan on selling the house. Is this true or was I misinformed?

    :confused:

    I know that if someone was buying the house at a later date their bank would require an engineer to sign of on the structure before giving the buyer a mortgage. If you are using bank finance they will probably require a sign off as well. That't about as much as I know, sorry.

    OP, if you received planning permission for the extension, it will need certificates of compliance with both planning permission and building regulations.

    If it is an exempt development, it will require a certificate of exemption from planning and a certificate of compliance with the building regulations.
