Council charging me megabucks simply for asking me too provide documents for CCC!!

[mrsaneperson]

I paid upfront the council fees for a building consent for a small bathroom add on to an existing laundry.

The documents for electrical , plumbing and drainage were all sited and approved by the inspector.

Only 2 inspections were needed.
I had a credit of $65 to my original...

We are considering a (weatherboard) house which has an addition with no CCC. The owners had the council out to inspect, many years after the addition was done, and the council refused to issue a CCC and instead sent a section 95A letter detailing the reasons they won't issue a CCC.

Despite...

I'd be most grateful for some advice.

Our neighbours have built a single-storey sleepout within the setback of our fence. They tell us it encroaches by 60cm (apparently the local guidelines are 1m). It overlooks the fence by about 1.5m.

It interrupts the view a little but...

But we changed the WIR slight to included a laundry sink for the washing machine. Council is asking for support document and completion of form AC2131 on-site...

Hi all,

I have a question, would really appreciate your advice!

I made an offer on a property (Hamilton) and obtained LIM. It showed that there was a consent issued in 2001 for "internal alterations", but without CCC issued. Subsequent sales were made in 2003,...

Hi all, we built an large seperate garage back in 2004 and have found afetr requesting a LIM that it was never signed off for a CCC. To make a long story short the footings on the reataining wall that the gargae sits on were never signed off. We have had the original engineer re-vist the site and submit...

Hi All,

How many buyers are aware a property should have a CCC for alterations etc? Homeowners do add-ons without one and probably don't believe it will harm a future sale. So I wonder if buyers know of it or even care especially if the add-on looks well built and offers an extra room...

Hi!

Apologies if this is posted in the wrong thread? It's my first time posting here (long time reader!).

I've been looking to buy my first home in Auckland for the last ~12 months (to occupy). A rather fruitless search with plenty of disappointment...anyway! A property...

Hi Team, We have had a temporary building built after losing our building in the recent November earthquake. The Council hve given us a Certificate for public use at the moment, but we cannot get the builder to sign off on the ceiling diaphram, due to stating that too many people were helping on the...

Hi,

I purchased a house & land package and it's about 1 month away to completion.
I hear some people move in even before CCC is issued as long as house passes final council inspection
as it takes at least 4 weeks to get CCC issued.

Is it 100% the case that...

Hi, just getting a rebuild done in Christchurch, I note on a monthly council list of consents granted (first time perusing such things) a heading, "Consent Value". My builder has put a value that is nearly $200,000 less than in the building contract. When I asked by email, the project manager...

Hi Guys - First post here.

We are going through our due diligence at the moment with an investment property and found out the garage doesn't have a CCC, but had an original building consent back in the early 2000's.

The garage looks very sound, but wanted to know if anyone...

Hi

Would like to know the repercussions of a garage without CCC, and also, how much would it cost to get a Certificate of Acceptance for that?

Thanks!
