Illegal extension, no permits, no problem, no sale.

Have you ever wondered about something and said to your self "something just doesn't seem right"?  Well I did while showing a beautiful listing to my buyer.  After the showing, house was beautiful by the way, neat, clean and roomy, my client wanted to make an offer, right on the spot.  I just didn't feel right about it so I asked for them to talk it over for a few minutes while I contacted the listing agent.  It seems that there was an extra room added where it should not have been.  I asked about the code for the place where this room was and no, no permits were taken and if it were, it would not have been approved because there was not enough distance to the property line.

I then asked my buyer if they bought the unit and received a violation down the road and had to remove the extension, how would they feel?  Case closed, no offer was made on this problem.

I wonder why folks do that, even if they wanted to make it legal, they would not be able to.
