When reading up on Home Warranties and Professional Consultants Certificates it may be confusing to see the mention of an ‘Architects Certificate’. But just what is the difference between an Architect Certificate and Professional Consultants Certificate and how does this affect your choices?
What Is The Difference Between An Architect’s Certificate and a Professional Consultants Certificate?
The Architect’s Certificate is the predecessor of the Professional Consultant Certificate. Typically completed by a chartered architect, the certificate was issued during the final build stages of a property, or after completion. It was used throughout the construction industry but is no longer applicable.
The Council Of Mortgage Lenders (now known as the UK Finance Mortgage Lenders) created the Professional Consultants Certificate to replace the Architect’s Certificate. The PC Certificate was designed to formalise and standardise the certification of newly built or newly converted residential property.
What Does A Professional Consultants Certificate Involve?
Getting a Professional Consultants Certificate couldn’t be simpler! How it works is this: we help thousands of people achieve certification, no matter what stage of the construction process they’re at. Simply get a quote, pay your deposit and then book your appointment.
Once you’ve created your account you can upload any relevant files, including project drawings, planning consent and building regulations. You will need to book an appointment and our dedicated surveyors will contact you within 24 hours to schedule the property inspection after this you can get your certificate.
