It does matter! If the house or any other structure (i.e. pergola, carport, pool, etc) on the property was built or erected after 1986 then an inspection of building records search should be carried out to confirm that the dwelling and any other structure has received a final certificate. Some Councils charge a separate search fee for each improvement or structure.
Prior to 1986, some Councils only hold records of approvals and not the inspection details of the construction.
If the dwelling or any improvement on the property was built within the last six years, then a Queensland Building Services Authority search should be carried out to ensure that a registered builder carried out the work.
If it was not built by a registered builder, then you will not have access to insurance in relation to any construction faults, and need written permission if it was built by an owner builder.
