Default NZ Houses

Quote:
Any modifications made to house - moving internal walls (even non-load bearing) or changing a boiler location - need approval from building control. This is a rule that you ?must stick to if you ever intend to sell your house. My brother was advised by his solicitor to pull out of a sale as the owner had carried out quite a bit od "DIY", all of which was to an acceptable standard - but hadnt been approved. Retrospective approval can be obtained, but not as easily as getting approval before or during the works.
?

Important information. ?Would be worth checking out exactly what you can and can't do without permission before getting stuck into any DIY.

I looked in on www.allrealestate.co.nz a short while ago for the Hamilton/Waikato area, but most of what it threw up was for Taupo area. ?Guess it depends which area you're looking for.
