Apply for a letter of comfort

Fees and costs

The cost depends on the type and value of the work.

From 1 April 2026:

  • £870 if the work was done before May 2005 and is valued under £40,000
  • £500 if you are applying for a letter of comfort for an expired warrant issued under the former building acts
  • if the work is valued over £40,000, a higher fee will apply based on the national building warrant fee scale

We review these fees every year.
