LOCAL COUNCIL PROPERTY SEARCH
When organizing a Building and Pest inspection with APIS Organise your Local Council search with us as well.
WHY should we organize our Council search thru APIS ? When Purchasing a property a search of Local Council records is Just as important as a Building and Termite inspection report.
WARNING:- Normally the Terms and Conditions of your Contract of sale usually do not include allowance for Council Searches. DIFFICULTY:- Solicitors organizing record searches of Local Council records are generally relying on information that you may pass on to them. This in itself could be a problem as some people would not know what would be classifiable or not. The Solicitor would only be able to respond on information they have received.
DONÔÇÖT GET CAUGHT !!! APIS will provide an onsite assessment that will reduce the chance of the purchaser/homebuyer being left with the responsibility and costs of building approval and finalisation, as well as the costs associated with any modifications. Even more serious, a homebuyer could be left with having to demolish a structure that does not comply with the building regulations.
With our industry experience The team at APIS can provide a much more accurate assessment of a Council search documents pertaining to the property. This assessment would be based on actual visual inspection of the property as we carry out the Building and Pest inspection reports to the property.
We can correctly identify room classification and alterations to rooms that would have required approvals thus identifying possible problem areas much more accurately.
Some of the most common unapproved structures found on properties include -
- roofed pergolas and patios
- garages that have been converted into additional living areas
- sheds larger than 10 square metres
- cubby houses over 2.4m in height or structures attached to boundary
- fences
- additional garages
- swimming pools.
