Strata unapproved work
Problem
Shortly after our client purchased a strata townhouse, they were informed by the council that conversion of the garage into a living room had been completed without council approval. The vendor did not disclose this information during the conveyancing process.Solution
First Title accepted the claim and engaged external lawyers, planners and building designers to prepare and submit an application to council for the living room to remain. The application was accepted and the client was extremely happy that she could keep the additional living room.Total payout $18,000
