albert Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 As above, unfortunately I am in this position following an accident involving brain injury. It has been a long time but this was always a good source of reliable info. I am taking legal advice but interested to hear opinions too. (Fire doors not fitted with closers , not all wall PB, exposed pipe work and wiring, stairs and handrails are of temp construction, cladding unfinished on some elevations etc etc. has kitchen and bathrooom , bed rooms.) Many Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nod Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 There’s nothing to stop you living in the house without a completion certificate We lived in ours for five months before sign off Home insurance also ok Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Temp Posted November 11, 2022 Share Posted November 11, 2022 +1 In England I don't think fire doors need closers. Except perhaps between garage and house? We got completion with missing wall lights and exposed wires. Just tape up the ends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrewG Posted January 3, 2023 Share Posted January 3, 2023 I lived in a house for 11 years before I got it signed off 🤐. Only had 2 things outstanding from 1st final inspection and only got around to doing those when I sold the house in 2018 😁. With hindsight wouldn't have much chance of making a claim on the buildings insurance 🥵 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
