WHY DO I NEED AN OPINION OF COMPLIANCE OR LAND REGISTRY MAP?

An Opinion on Compliance becomes necessary when alterations have been made to a property without a Certificate of Compliance available to validate those modifications. This applies in two scenarios:
-
When the changes made do not necessitate planning permission (Opinion on Compliance for Exempt Development).
-
When the changes made require planning permission (Opinion of Compliance with Planning Permission).
When a property or part of a property requires a new title, the boundary and plot require lodgement and approval by the Land Registry. Properties that have not been previously registered go through a process called First Property Registration.
You can click here to check if your property has been previously registered with The Land Registry - click the 'Proceed as Guest' button on the following landing page and search your property address through the interactive map.
If your site or property is not outlined in red or green this will mean that it is currently unregistered and you will require a Land Registry Compliant Map for First Property Registration.
CERTIFICATE & LAND REGISTRY MAPS
Certificates may also be referred to as Opinions of Compliance, or Exemption Certificates, or Certificates of Compliance
Land Registry Maps may also be referred to as PRA Maps.
