I want to know does the builder have to give the owner once the house has been bu8ilt the Electrical Certificate or does the City Council receive it.

the council owns all of the foot path from your front boundary to the kerb. have your property surveyed to determine your front boundry
if you want to plant trees or have gardens on the footpath you have to get permission from the council
you are not allowed to park on the foot path or across the foot path as that is council property

Contact the Council in your city or country.

Hello, Caron -

I hope I am correct in thinking you reside in the United Kingdom.

I am answering from the USA and am a librarian by profession

I suggest you contact your local Council directly by making a telephone call.

I did find this information on council housing:
[Quote]
Waiting lists

Councils decide who gets offered housing based on a 'points' or 'banding' system.
Points and bands are based on housing need. For example, you're likely to be offered housing first if you:

• are homeless
• live in cramped conditions
• have a medical condition made worse by your current home

Once you're high enough on the list, your council will contact you about an available property.

sewer main to premises means from the main to your boundary as is the case in all councils
the service line is from your house to the connection at the boundary
you can not be held responsible for pipe damage under council or main roads authority

Hi Alice:

Don't know whereyou are, but with a 1 year old appliance, you should have the manual.
Your local authorithy (Building Official at City Hall) should be able to access your property file and give you the info you need to be able to contact the appliance supplier (or builder) so that you can get the proper manual.
Seriously, the Builder has a safety obligation to provide that information.

And, you as the purchaser, have a right to expect it.

Please contact your local authority.
Cheers,
Ted (Retired Building Official)

It will be in documents you received upon purchase or your city council or land office offices.

First you need to obtain a Certificate of Money Provisions from a Master or district judge, then you register the certificate in the Register of Judgments of the Books of Council.
When you have received the extract and warrant, you can instruct a Sheriff Officer, or a Bayliff to attempt to enforce the decree.

see:

How do I enforce in Scotland a money judgement of a court in England or Wales?

If you need more clarifications and detail, give a call to a local solicitor, see:

How can I get a solicitor or legal advice?

Hi schmidt_rich,

I'm Harvey the Master Plumber.

Your question is: You took over as owner builder when your builder "took the $ and ran". You are installing kitchen cabs now and discovered the PVC vent pipe (which goes into the foundation and out the side of the house) is in the wrong place for the location of the downdraft unit and integral blower. The vent is actually under the electrical connection panel. You were told initially( 2 yrs ago when you bought the downdraft cook'n'vent) there could be no bends in the exhaust fan route or it would change the effectiveness. Does anyone know if it is ok to put a bend in the connection to the vent? Or do you need to redo your kitchen cabinets?

I can syphathise. I have had to deal with this same problem. I have found that one ell will not degrade the effectiveness enough to notice. If you need more then you may need to adjust cabinets.

Feel free contact me again!
