It's interesting understanding the different scenarios though as it helps us give better advice (albeit unofficial advice) when a claim is a bit more unsual. What letter have you had? The one that says 'claim received' or the one that says they've assessed your claim and confirm it to be eligible and are now working on the detailed invoices? It says, it has been received, no outstanding issues at the moment, we aim to process your claim within 6 weeks, and payment in 20 working days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well done! The processing takes weeks but on the bright side the money only takes about a week to come through afterwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have a scout round there to see what people have said about lead times. I'm sure someone said that their claim came though much more quickly that most people seem to be experiencing. Recent focus has been on HMRC refusing claims for apparently not sending the claim early enough even though it was within 3 months of the completion certificate but they've lost their first case at Tribunal so that may ease a bit hopefully. I'm sure they get bonuses triggered by the number of claims they can refuse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mostly by the LA it seems but some appeals go to central government and the CIL process (or 'tool' as they call it) is set centrally. That said there doesn't seem to be scenario where you can claim if the LA reverses the Self Build exemption after the house is built (unless you can call that a 'surcharge' but I thought that a surcharge was where they had added additional costs). Types of CIL appeal The appeals are here. CIL Appeals 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bodgerbedge Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 My first real post, please be gentle ? @nod @newhome Did anyone reach a conclusion regarding what is sufficient for 'Deeds' on the CIL exemption form 7 part 2? Was the Land Registry 'Official Copy of Register of Title' sufficient (bearing in mind that this will usually be for a plot of land, rather than a fully build house)? Given that I have found myself woefully unprepared for the amount of work involved getting the VAT reclaim sorted I want to get to get ahead on this one (as it amounts to over £28,000, and we have already had to pay out £13,500 S106). ? Many thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many thanks Yes it was sufficient We also sent planning app Commencement notice Cil agreement New house registered address Anything that had our name on it related to the plot We also wrote a letter showing timeline from purchase to vat claim and explaining that we had done most of the work ourselves while holding down full time jobs To help explain long delays between some purchases Its difficult to know what was required But we had a letter shortly after telling us that it would be around 8 weeks 4 weeks later £29364 Appeared in our account Exactly what Em we had claimed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Temp Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 Was that S106 for "affordable housing"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
