    Hi all,

    I'm currently sale agreed on a house since mid Dec. We are still awaiting contracts to be issued - I have been told they are awaiting a certificate of compliance from an architect but I'm unsure why this is needed? It's a 1980's bungalow, any idea why this is required?

    For the kitchen extension.

    There's no extensions to the original house.

    No certificate means the property is not regarded as planning permission compliant, in which case banks will likely refuse to release mortgage funds.

    Should this not be done at the time of building?

    Lots of things "should" be done, but aren't.

    It actually should have been organised before they put they house up for sale

    Might just be a red herring to excuse inactivity. If you went sale agreed in mid december, nothing might have been done to get things moving until earlier this month. Some solicitors can be very slow.

    Yeah this may be the case! Expecting contracts to be issued today so we will wait.... this is the 3rd week in a row we have been "assured" we will have them
