Property enquiry certificates

A Property Enquiry Certificate (PEC) lets you know if we have any proposals, legal orders or notices that would affect a property. It confirms the status of a property from its original records.

How to apply

You can request a PEC by phoning 0303 123 1015. Requests are usually made by solicitors after a property is subject to an offer.

How much does it cost?

Full PECs cost £74.26 per address. Part property enquiries are £37.13. These consist of two responses from either of the following services: Planning, Building Standards, Roads and Transportation, Grants or Environmental Health.

Copies of documents will not be provided.

Service standards

Our aim is to provide a PEC within five to 10 working days of an enquiry being received.
