Under house flat DA and insurance

Hi all

Query regarding an older 2 level house in Redcliffe Qld, Moreton Shire Council. It has a seperate flat under. Its unlikely to have a DA in place for the flat that was put in probably 25 years ago. How would this effect insurance that as generally council approval is required.

Any specific experience?

Thanks
 
It is not uncommon for high set brisbane houses to have the underneath section built in.

Check with the council that the work was approved.

Even if it was, that does not mean that you are legally entitled to rent if out separate to the house.

that would be under an old scheme, it may well be an existing lawful use. I would check with your insurer as it would be very hard to verify that something of that age needed council approval.
