No Final Inspection

Retrospective building approvals are required when there is no final inspection certificate for a structure or changes to a structure. During the sale/purchase process, you may find out that what you are selling/buying has no final inspection certificate. This will usually come to light on a council building record search and may look something like one of these examples: 

This process may include:


  • Requesting a copy of the council building and plumbing files
  • A site inspection to ascertain what is required
  • Assessment of documentation by Coastal Building Approval Service
  • Issuing of building approval
  • Inspections
  • Issue of final inspection certificate
