Sectional title rules : Building alternations

[zerocool2009]

I need some inputs from sectional title experts / legal views

In short, someone bought a property years ago (in a complex). It is now sold again, but the owner said the previous owner did major changes on the structure

Saying that ... who is liable to fix the plans ? (the current owner) ? As the new owner would poef in his broek if he needs to pay for something that wasnt his "work / job"

Any feedback would be appreciated

Can the managing agent / trustees withhold the clearance certificate ? (that is another good question, I dont know what the law says about that)

Person selling should have made sure the plans etc were up to date when the bought it, it's their problem now.

He is now telling the trustees are stopping the process, and legal help is called in. But honestly I think, if you buy something wow, and it isnt according to spec, you benefited in alot of ways. Why now cry faul and say its not the sellers issue.

The current owner is liable, as he didn't get the plans and or checks done before buying.
