Misleading advertising of unit with a bedroom being non-compliant.
This non-compliant bedroom in a unit would likely have had an affect on the future resale, if it was not picked up in a building inspection report carried out by QBIS.
Ceiling height of this room was under the building code requirements for use as a bedroom.
The ceiling height of this room at 2.238 metres is at least 162 mm under the Australian building code requirements of 2.4 metres for use as a habitable room.
Non-compliant rooms can affect your resale
- This relatively new unit in a large complex was advertised by the selling agent as a two bedroom unit, when in fact it is only compliant with the local building code and Council requirements as a one bedroom unit.
The nature and seriousness of this problem may potentially hinder a future resale and possibly affect the selling price, considerably!
