Nothing can ever be simple when building a new home. We learnt that our Private Certifier Authority (PCA) cannot issue our interim certificate of occupancy until we comply with condition #25 of the council's development consent. Condition #25 is the addition of a privacy screen on our front balcony.
This screen is to be added by us after handover. That would not be a problem... except that our bank wants to have a copy of the certificate of occupancy before releasing the funds for the final payment, and we cannot access the house until we pay Metricon and get the keys.
So there it is: we are stuck in an administrative road block until someone make a compromise. The PCA won't move as they are bond by the regulations. The bank or Metricon will have to do something about it.
