Why do you need a Safe and Sanitary Report?

Possibly your insurance your lending firm have requested this information to meet the conditions of the purchase or sale.

The term “Safe and Sanitary” came into existence after the first Building Act was introduced in 1992.

There were specific sections in that act which made it clear that:

All building work required a building consent.

A building consent cannot be issued retrospectively.

Territorial Authorities (Councils) could declare buildings unsafe or insanitary, regardless of when they were built. This therefore applied to buildings or work built prior to July 1992 with or without what was then known as a building permit.

Councils do have discretion whether to allow unpermitted or unconsented building work to remain in place.

Dangerous, meaning; likely in the ordinary course of events to cause injury or death to persons or damage to other property.

Insanitary, meaning; situated, constructed or in disrepair which is likely to be bad for your health; i.e. dampness, without adequate potable water or sanitary facilities.

What this means is that if the illegal work is not dangerous or insanitary, then we can compile a report for your insurance or lending purposes.
