Can I move into my new home before the Code Compliance Certificate has been issued?

Yes, someone can move into their house before the final inspection has been done and the Code Compliance Certificate has been issued. This can occur if they are building it for themselves.

If it is for a client or purchaser then under Section 364 the Building Act 2004 the Code Compliance Certificate must be issued before the purchaser takes possession unless through mutual agreement both parties opt out of this requirement. Generally Solicitors do not advise their clients to take this option as there is a degree of reduced protection should anything go wrong.
