Dear Sir,

I suspect this could very well be the case, yes.

It should be the same architect that signs it, not a different one. I believe that member you write will be right.

As we always recommend on giving legal advice, one should in general not complete without a Licence of First Occupation issued by the Town Hall. There are a few exceptions in any case which are already highlighted in the article that starts this thread i.e. developer is teetering on filing for receivership and the buyer has no bank guarantees issued securing their stage payments.

Yours faithfully,
