Don't we have to notify our neighbours as well when we decide to renovate?
Cause it'll be annoying if I was rudely awaken by the sound of drilling noises.

I am planning to buy a residential property in Gelang Patah, Johor.

However I noted that many residents renovate their house extensively. This I was told that they do without submitting for approval for the local council as it would takes a long time for the processing.

If I will to buy this property with no proper approval, what should I do to make sure that I do not have problems with the authorities later after the completion of the sales?

What sort of submission is needed for renovation that requires hacking off walls and adding more built-up space?

Any forummer can offers advise?

Hi Chun,

In my honest opinion, you should get an approval with the authorities. That will protect you in any illegal issues that might come up in the future. Its Better to abide now than face problem later.


With regard to document submissions,...i will just let experienced forumers reply for this....

Cheers!

HI,

for extension and change of floorplan, need to get architect to re-draw the layout and sent for approval.
