Hi team,
First post - chasing some info hopefully from some people that have been through this before.
I'm keen on a property in Queensland provided an offer which included,
Finance & Building/Pest & Due Diligence.
On receipt of the offer, we were provided another Building and Pest and told we could communicate with the inspector.
When communicating with the inspector, he's highlighted that there isn't any approvals for the work that has been done. This work includes, raising, building in underneath and a deck out the back.
I still like this property, but would like help on any of the following;
1) was the real estate agent supposed to disclose this on our first meetings with him
2) what searches/work can or should be done to see how safe this property is?
3) can the property be advertised as a four bedroom when one of the bedrooms isn't 'legal' but is legal height?
4) can this work ever become 'legal' and how much risk would there be?
Thanks for any assistance on this. I'm not in a jam or anything, but would like info to see if we can/should continue negotiating....
