363C: Section 363 does not apply to building work commenced before 31 March 2005
or “You don't get in trouble for building work that started before 31 March 2005.”
You could also call this:

“It is against the law for someone who builds houses to sell them without getting a special paper that says the house is safe and properly built.”

This section of the law used to talk about when a residential property developer could get in trouble for transferring a household unit without a code compliance certificate. However, this rule no longer exists. It was removed from the Building Act 2004 on 1 January 2015. This means that the specific offence described in this section is no longer part of the current law.
