Wondering whether bank valuers take into consideration extensions that are not approved through council?
I want to put a 4th bedroom on and wondering what the implications are for tapping into equity in the next 5 years if I do the extension myself. I also have plans on a garage granny flat conversion that I can do myself. Obviously getting DA’s & drawings, etc for both projects, etc is quite costly
IF the answer is no, that’s funny as to the contrary I bought same property where agent marketed property to me 3 bedroom and I know for a fact that the existing 3rd bedroom is not council approved.
I’ve had a 3 bedroom unit counted as a 2 bedroom because the 3rd bedroom was a converted living room. Then taking it to a different valuer it was valued as a 3 bedroom.

Depends on how diligent the valuer is I suppose – some might not realise/mention it whilst others will.
