Please note: This home was originally built by a local builder who took pride in his work having built the home for himself to live in. However, it does require a little tender loving care in some areas where a little maintanance and finishing touches, such as painting and replacing the odd decking timber, would benefit the home.

The house was not originally signed off by council when it was completed. But it has since been noted as an authorised dwelling with council with a current "interrum building certificate" being issued. This means a retrospective DA can be applied for to attain a "final building certificate" Some buyers will not be fussed and take the property as is, however, if a bank loan is needed to secure the property it is important to note it is unlikely a bank will support a loan without a final certificate being issued.
