Question of the week - What is an Occupation Certificate?

The Occupation Certificate (OC) authorises the occupation and use of a new building or building section. For staged works, an Interim OC may be issued which allows you to occupy the completed part of the building. The issue of the final OC is the last step in the formal Development Application and construction process. When buying a home that may have undergone past renovations, we need to ensure that the home has been granted the Occupation Certificate prior to purchase. Buying a home without an Occupation Certificate is a huge risk and most banks will not lend to you, due to risk and not deeming the property as acceptable security. Sometimes it could be a simple thing awaiting sign off, or it could be major issues. That’s why have a great team supporting you when buying your home is important.
