Illegal Building Works

Have you received an unexpected visit from council advising you that you have unapproved works? Or perhaps you have listed your property for sale (or purchased a new property) and the solicitor has discovered that you have building work that is not approved.

This can be a very stressful experience, especially if you had no idea what you have on site is ‘illegal’.

Unapproved works can vary from a simple deck to a complete renovation and obtaining the relevant council sign-off for this can seem like an impossible task.

It’s true that this can be a minefield to negotiate, but working through all the council and building controls for a Building Information Certificate (BIC) to obtain a positive outcome is what we specialise in. The key to a positive outcome with unapproved works, is to act quickly before council impose a fine and deadlines to demolish.
