Electrical Certificate for Conservatory

[JohnW2]

So what does "Part N of Schedule 1" refer to as its only a small conservatory

I find it hard to believe that one could build a conservatory without BC approvals, hence a Completion Certificate

Most conservatories are exempt from building regulations.

Fair enough - I'd forgotten that.

I still don't fully understand. So will I need an electrical certificate or not???

If you have one, then fine.
If not, then the buyers solicitor will have to do without one. Just like in 99% of other house purchases. It's a total non-issue and not worth spending any more time or money .

I agree totally. I've seen countless houses sold for which paperwork for electrical work was "not available" (quite possibly never existed) and/or for which notifiable work had not been notified. Buyers may try to use that as an excuse for trying to knock the price down, but I think that should be resisted - pointing out that the asking price was based on knowledge of what paperwork etc. was, and was not, available. The crucial thing is not to lie during the conveyancing process - which can theoretically get one into deep (and potentially expensive) trouble!
