Why Do I need a PCC?

Have you recently Newly Built, Converted or carried out a Major refurbishment on a property and need to raise some finance, re-mortgage, or sell the property then you will need a Professional Consultants Certificate (PCC). The Certificate is valid for 6 years from the date of issue following the final inspection by a qualified surveyor and satisfactory completion of the works.

What is Covered by a Professional Consultants Certificate?

A PCC is a document that offers peace of mind to the homeowner and mortgage lender as it shows that the project was properly constructed. In the case of a structural defect, the architect may be liable. It is important to note that negligence must be proven in court for the architect to cover the cost of repairs. Note that they will only be liable if they are solvent and trading at the time. Also, the architect must maintain a sufficient level of professional indemnity insurance for the entire time that the certificate will be valid. A PCC isn’t a warranty. It doesn’t provide cover for structural defects in the property.

How it Works

What our clients say about our work

We urgently needed to obtain PCC for our mortgage and were searching for a reliable company to assist us quickly. We contacted several companies, but most could not help us within the time frame we needed or were unhelpful. Fortunately, we got in touch with Keith, who provided us with detailed information about the process and understood the urgency of the turnaround time. He was able to visit our home the next day efficiently and promptly, providing us with the necessary paperwork on the same day. We are incredibly grateful for Keith's exceptional customer service, and thanks to his help, we completed our mortgage process without any hassles. Thank you, Keith, for your outstanding work!

I recently had the pleasure of working with South Coast Property Consultants Ltd with regards to an extension to our home. I cannot speak highly enough of their professionalism, expertise, and dedication to their work and from the very beginning, they took the time to thoroughly understand my needs and concerns, and were always available to answer any questions I had along the way. Throughout the process, they demonstrated a deep knowledge of building construction and design, and were able to identify potential issues and provide valuable recommendations to ensure the safety and longevity of the extension. Their attention to detail was second to none, and they were extremely thorough in their inspection and reporting, leaving no stone unturned. Not only did they provide a comprehensive report, but they also took the time to explain their findings and recommendations in detail, in a way that was easy for me to understand. Their communication skills were exceptional, and I always felt that I was in good hands throughout the entire process. Thanks to their expertise and diligence, I was able to make an informed decision about the extension work I was considering, and I am extremely happy with the outcome. I would highly recommend South Coast Property Consultants Ltd to anyone in need of their services, and I look forward to working with them again in the future.

We have worked with Keith as he assessed our capabilities in undertaking the practicalities of Modular House Building, this was over a period of three to four months. In that time, we found Keith’s approach to be both professional and accommodating in that if we were not approaching a process in the correct manner, we would be coached as apposed to criticised. We found him really good to deal with and will certainly look to utilise his services in the future should the opportunity arise.

Keith was assigned as our technical surveyor during our BOPAS Technical accreditation and found him to be very knowledgeable, extremely helpful, and professional. We will be working with him again on future projects where we require a warranty or a construction consultant.

I have worked with Keith on a number of projects over the last 6-7years. His inspections on site are always very thorough and his knowledge in construction is second to none. I would recommend Keith to any developer/builder who is looking for a surveyor.
