Re: Can 20cm be a deal breaker? 5Feb 21, 2013 11:04 am Pellana I If you are buying a pre-exisiting house that doesn't now comply with council requirements I don't think they can make you change it. Thanks for your note. Its an existing house but the problem is that there is a 'Combined Allottment Statement'. Which means when the permits were issued it had conditions on it. One of the condition was to say if the owner ever sell one block, the verandah must be removed or altered to meet building regulations. Deal breaker for me. They are looking at s173 now so i'll see how they go. Thanks again.

No they built the house further inside but when they added the veranda on the second floor the veranda over hangs to 20cm away from the boundary line. ---->Some say that a recession is when your neighbour loses his/her job while a depression is when you lose yours!<----- Re: Can 20cm be a deal breaker? 7Feb 24, 2013 12:21 pm Wow, are 20 cm setback. That's small! Someone must have approved the construction, in which case it should be fine. (I assume it's a 20 cm setback and not a 20 cm protrusion into the neighbours property.)
