Habitation certificate

Just realised I do not have habitation certificate for my property, surely this should have been obtained by agent when I purchased property?

Yes it should, and checked by your solicitor.

How long have you had the property? They are valid for 10yrs. You will only need one if you are selling.

If you purchased the property as a new build then a first occupancy licence will (or should be) among the documentation. This lasts for 10 years and is not necessary for renewal. The first occupancy licence shows the builder has met the required standards and the builder's guarantee is valid for 10 years.
If the property was pre owned but within the 10 years then the first occupancy licence should be replaced with a second occupation licence which will be valid until the 10 years is up.
Only when the property is more than 10 years old does a habitation certificate need to be in use and then only when you come to sell it or if extensive works have been done since the first issue. It may also be required by utility companies if you wish to change contracts.
If you require one, you can obtain the licence of first occupation from the builders but if it requires a habitation certificate (which should have been passed on by the seller) then you can apply for another one from the town hall who may charge for it and this cost, depending on the municipality, could be from zero up to 300 euro.
You should contact your solicitor who should have assured one of these documents was in place.
