Just wondered if anyone has a preference between making an application with the council or private company. A couple of architects I've spoken suggested private but I've never used one.

That's complete nonsense. You book a next day or even same day inspection, and they come and inspect as arranged.Delays whereby they take days to get their fingers out and thereby hold up the job
Not where I am, pal.That's complete nonsense. You book a next day or even same day inspection, and they come and inspect as arranged.
In which case you speak with his line manager. It's quite simple.I have a developer client desparate for a Certificate to release a £160K re-mortage. The **** from the council is holding it up over a poxy bit of roof ventilation which the builder got wrong. We've sent in a detail for a retrospective fix, and despite repeated emails and phone calls, its a case of "sorry, he's out on site" or "sorry, he's in a meeting" or "sorry, he's on leave and will be back one month next Tuesday".
You must have a bad relationship with the LA.Been there, done that - they all close ranks. Criticise one, and you criticise them all.
If you complain that the inspector has said 2+2 = 569, his line manager will respond that it is so.
Anyway, except for the job I mentioned above, this is all in the past for me. Always private inspectors, and never looked back.
