What is a
Professional Consultant's Certificate (PCC)?

Lenders typically require newly built, converted, or renovated properties to be covered by a warranty scheme or a Professional Consultant’s Certificate (PCC). The PCC confirms to the lender that a qualified and experienced consultant has monitored the construction or conversion of a residential property, ensuring compliance with approved drawings and regulations, and that they will remain liable for six or ten years, backed by appropriate professional indemnity insurance.

Overview:

  • Accepted by majority of the mortgage market
  • UK Finance approved
