This is not a Property Enquiry Certificate. Your solicitor will still order the official one from the council. Details

Frequently asked questions

What is a Property Enquiry Certificate?

A certificate from the council, usually ordered by the seller's or buyer's solicitor, listing planning, building control, roads and notices that affect a property.

Does this replace it?

No. It shows early what open data says about the property, before a viewing or an offer.

What does a PEC cost?

Each council sets its fee; the ones we have read range from £60 to £105.

What is an Article 4 direction?

An order that removes permitted development rights, so that works such as new windows or extensions need planning permission.

Is a result at the postcode exact?

It is read at the postcode centre. Where a boundary is close, the result says so: check the council's map.
