Frequent Risk Signals

• Financial Penalties: You could face significant fines from local councils (e.g., City of Perth, City of Joondalup) for non-compliant structures, potentially thousands of dollars, to either demolish or regularise the unapproved work.
• Demolition Orders: The local council in Western Australia can issue an order requiring you, as the new owner, to demolish the unapproved structure at your own expense if it cannot be brought to code.
• Delayed Settlement: Discovering unapproved structures during pre-settlement inspections can complicate the REIWA Contract, potentially delaying settlement while the issue is negotiated or resolved, causing extra costs for both parties.
• Insurance Issues: Home insurance policies may not cover damages to or caused by unapproved structures, leaving you exposed to significant repair or rebuild costs.
• Difficulty Reselling: Future buyers may be hesitant or unable to secure finance for a property with unapproved structures, impacting your ability to sell the property down the line.
• Legal Liability: In some cases, you could be held liable for safety hazards or structural issues arising from poorly constructed unapproved works, particularly if they do not meet Western Australia's building codes.
