- Building warrant application and completion certificate

Planning and building rules in Prestwick
Projects in Scotland need a building warrant from the council before any building work starts, and a completion certificate once it is finished. Planning permission is a separate decision. The Party Wall etc. Act does not apply in Scotland; shared walls are governed by title deeds and the law of the tenement where relevant.
Internal alterations rarely need planning permission in Scotland, but structural work needs a building warrant before it starts.
What should Prestwick homeowners check first?
- Houses empty for two years or more can qualify for the reduced 5% VAT rate on renovation.
- Living in during a full renovation is difficult; most people move out for part of it.
