Say I want to buy a land with a single-storey bungalow on top of it, the house was bought from a developer 50 years ago without being given CF. The house has title. If I buy this property, the whole single-storey bungalow will have to be gone (demolished) and rebuilt into a 2 storey bungalow. My question is, will that be a problem that I will run into any issue rebuilding the house in the future. My lawyer told me without CF DBKL might now even approve a permit for demolition let alone rebuilding.
Firstly, you need to determine the status of the land from the title. Do you have a copy and to upload here. It could still be under agri status.Any local authority can order land owners to demolish illegal structure on the land constructed without approval or they proceed to do after the order expires and so are 'private' structures on govt land.
Generally, I do not see the reason why DBKL should not allow the demolition if it was first built without cf and to rebuild with proper approval for safety reasons.
Otherwise, land owners can just build without fear knowing the authority cannot give a demolition order. Your terrace neighbour can then build a 5sty.
However, DBKL can allow demolition but may not approve the rebuilding if the whole development then did not complied with their guidelines....the reasons why CF wasnt issue.
Maybe, you want to check the neighbouring units to confirm what I mentioned or is it just that unit without CF.
