‘Get approval for renovations or face hassles when selling house’


Extensions of ground floor units in low-cost flats, such as this one in Pandan Indah, Ampang Jaya, have become common due to the need for space in these typically small units. – Photos: SS KANESAN & SHAARI CHE MAT/The Star

MANY homeowners are not aware that failure to obtain the local authority’s approval to carry out home modification can spell disaster when they plan to sell their property later.

As unapproved renovations are not documented, the value of the property can be lower than the price quoted by them because the additional structures and facilities are not in the original building plan.
