Hi. I am in the process of buying a house in KL. but before signing the S&P, I found out the house's back was extended(ground floor and 1st floor) without approval from DBKL.
I want to know:
1-If the local authority found out after I buy the house, do I have to knock down the extended part and rebuild the house back to the original layout?
2- can I just pay the penalty rather than knocking down the house? If so, roughly how much?
3- can I negotiate with the seller about the price again?
4- can I apply for the permit after I buy the house? What is the chance of getting the approval? Will DBKL reject my application and then I have to knock down?
5- how to apply for the permit after the extension was made more about 10 years ago?
DBKL will not penalize the purchaser for unapproved extension work. Just get an architect to draw up the extension and submit it to the council for you. With regards to knocking down the purchase price, don't think you can knock down the price much but you could probably negotiate with the seller and get it worked into your S&P that the seller pays for getting the extension approved or the both of you share the cost.I want to know:

Try calling this guy Benson at 016-395 7083, he should be able to advice you on what the process would be like and the costs involved.
Hope that helps.
