Selling regulations
What is a post-intervention file (PID)?
What is a post-intervention file, when do you need it and what belongs in it?
The post-intervention file (PID) belongs to a home or building. It must stay with the building throughout its entire lifespan, including after the sale.
When a building, or part of it, changes owner, the previous owner hands the PID to the new owner, together with other documents that must stay with the building. This handover is recorded in the deed confirming the transfer of the building.
If the seller does not have a required PID (never drawn up or untraceable), the seller must have the file drawn up at their own expense by a safety coordinator or architect, at the latest by the signing of the deed.
If the last works were carried out before 1 May 2001 and no PID was therefore drawn up, the sale can still go ahead. The seller of course hands over the existing plans, documents and certificates that must stay with the home.
