Cancellation notices, transfers and reversions

Recently a number of Registered Building Control Approver's (RBCA's) (formerly known as Approved Inspectors) have entered liquidation and now unable to carry out their duties. 

What happens next for applicants who had previously employed their services will depends on the stage of the project, but in the majority of cases the project will revert to the Local Authority in what's known as a Reversion.

The Government has published guidance to further explain the consequences of an RBCA falling into liquidation and we would encourage anyone affected by this to read and understand the guidance available. A more detailed guidance note is also available.

You are then encouraged to make contact with the Local Authority Building Control department to discuss the next steps to try and ensure that your project continues in the correct manner.

You should then email building.control@sutton.gov.uk with details of the project and any documentation you currently have from the previous RBCA.
