Brilliant - well done, no comes the VAT reclaim, the rerating by the Local Authority and lifetime of increasingly minor snagging!

You have 6 months for the date of issue of the Certificate to claim your VAT back . 

There are still a few items I want to buy before I claim, gravel extra paving and any thing else that I might want at a 20% discount.

If it's a new build,don't forget your CIL form that has to be completed within  6months of completion certificate.

I had forgotten all about ours untill an earlier thread on here, about CIL forms, a week or so ago

Thankfully no CIL in fenland , but definitely something not to forget if your in an area that does impose it.

[Alan Ambrose]

You’re lucky, major CIL here for your southern cousins.

I was dancing when I realised there was no CIL here. Unfortunately it was exchanged for an expensive section 106. That was a short party.
