Dear sifus,
I am going to purchase a subsale unit without approval for extension. The owner does not want to go through the process because he is selling it already. For me as a buyer, is this common?
The lawyer comment the below, 1. Cancel the deal 2. Take the deal and bare the risk.
Remark : The previous valuation report included the extension part. Does this means it is original design from developer?

If you still want the house then you would need to bare the risk when municiple comes knocking and issue fines plus ask to tear down illegal extensions with deadline. Get a different unit instead.

I understand the risk but there are no other units available at that area. Is it a normal practise for extension to get approval? As for me , even the house I am currently staying does not have approval from. Authorities

If is intermediate terrace, it can be legalised as extension are standard. If you want the house, offer a price that include the cost to legalised the extension.

If you really want the unit, then reduce your offer price to exclude the value of the extension or at least at a substantial discount.
If local counsel come over, they have right to demolish the extension and leave you cleaning up the rubble. So effectively you are paying more for an illegal structure that can be demolished anytime unless you pay even more money.
