Building Laws - Building Legislation Information

Maybe you have plans for your home but you need to know what the latest building regulations are that relate to the kind of work you want to carry out.

Building laws and regulations are changing all the time so it is important to make sure that you are compliant before proceeding with your project.

Use our handy guides to check the latest building regulations and planning permissions relating to the particular kind of work you want to carry out.

If in doubt, contact your local building control office to find out whether the work you want to carry out to your home is going to be carried out in according with planning permissions or any other building regulations which might apply.

It is important to bear in mind that if you do carry out work that is in breach of planning permission or building regulations and you do not get the required permissions or carry out the work in accordance with building regulations (you will need a certificate to prove this), when you come to sell your home you might find that you hit some obstacles and may even have to return the property to its original state.

Better to check out building regulations beforehand.
