I hear all the talk about 'legal height' but the owners and the real estate agents all brush it off as not important. "Everyone builds in underneath – andhave been doing it for years!" they say.
So .. what IS the big deal?
Why DO we need Council approval?
Whats the impact on what, if you dont have Council approval?
I was told that if theres not a bed in the 'illegal' space then its "OK".
But if you have a bed in the 'Illegal space' and the house burns down, the Insurers are within their right to say the space was "illegal" and they are not obliged to pay out.
Is any of that true or have I thrown a bucket of petrol on the discussion.
