Professional Consultants Certificate

If you are selling, refinancing, or completing a new property without an NHBC warranty, a Professional Consultants Certificate (PCC) may be essential. At Paragon Architecture & Construction, our RIBA Chartered and ARB Registered Architects can inspect your project, confirm it meets industry standards, and issue a PCC recognised by mortgage lenders across the UK.

What to Know Before You Apply

A PCC is not a building warranty but provides professional assurance backed by our liability cover.
We must be involved early enough to verify works or have sufficient evidence of construction quality.
Lenders often require the PCC to be issued by a professional with recognised qualifications and Professional Indemnity insurance, which we hold as a RIBA Chartered Practice.

Our Process

We review plans, building control documents, and specifications.

2. Site Inspections

We inspect the property at key stages or upon completion.

3. Compliance Confirmation

We ensure works meet building regulations, approved plans, and good construction practice.

4. Certificate Issue

We prepare and sign the PCC, valid for six years and recognised by most UK mortgage lenders.
