# Sign-Off Direct > RICS Chartered Building Surveyors issuing Professional Consultants Certificates (PCCs) as a mortgage-lender-accepted alternative to a structural warranty. Fixed fee from £950, certificate in around 7 days (3-day priority available for an extra fee), UK-wide. Sign-Off Direct provides Professional Consultants Certificates, Architects Certificates and Monitoring Surveys across the UK. A PCC issued during construction is accepted by most UK mortgage lenders under Section 6.7 of the UK Finance Lenders' Handbook as an alternative to a 10-year structural warranty. Sign-Off Direct specialises in RETROSPECTIVE PCCs, certifying a finished new build, conversion or extension after a single comprehensive inspection by a RICS Chartered Building Surveyor. Important: a retrospective PCC is accepted by fewer lenders than a monitored one and acceptance varies from lender to lender, so the lender's specific requirements should always be checked before instructing. ## Retrospective Professional Consultants Certificates - [Retrospective PCC, complete guide](https://www.signoffdirect.co.uk/retrospective-pcc): what a retrospective PCC is, the process, what we inspect, lender acceptance, cost and how it compares to alternatives.
