This is probably a basic question, but with renovating a detached or semi-detached unit such as a townhouse or villa, can you renovate the outside of the property like as if it were a house? Or do you generally need to obtain approval from owners' corporation?
How about in situations where its a group of say 4 or more separate units with a similar style & age VS 2 units in a block with an old unit at the front/back and the other is relatively new?
If consent from owners' corporation is always needed, what kind of things would you look out for prior to purchasing a unit to determine/gauge how easy it would be to get consent (if say the strategy was to buy an older property and renovate it to add value)?
Any tips/suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
Cheers,
