Hi Chatters, I’m interested as a 2 bedder in my complex is now for sale as a 3 bedder, having relocated the kitchen to another area and converted the space into a 3rd bed room. It looks quite a smart design change but I’m wondering if that breaches any local legislation or scheme laws. I doubt they would have any more than body corp committee approval as folks here just don’t enjoy that experience so often dont bother. Now for sale could that come back to bite a new owner?

Many local councils have laws requiring development approval if you change the layout of an apartment, to avoid people putting inadequately soundproofed bathrooms above bedrooms, for instance. That would be my first port of call to check if there had been any breaches.
