Buildings Department orders and notices

These are BD's cumulative counts, not the number still outstanding, and earlier orders are not on the lists. Before a purchase, check BD's orders search, the MBIS/MWIS notice search and a land search. See our guide to inspections and orders.

Inspection scheme age thresholds

• Not yet the 30-year age threshold of the Mandatory Building Inspection Scheme (domestic buildings of 3 storeys or fewer are exempt); BD may serve an inspection notice.
• Reached the 10-year age threshold of the Mandatory Window Inspection Scheme (same exemption).

Age counts from the occupation permit date; BD selects buildings for notices by risk. See BD: MBIS.
