Just keep in mind that I didn't say that every buyer will have an isse with there not being a permit in place. But if I'm buying a place that had the basement done, I'd be looking for that permit. So you take your chances.
Here's something maybe one of our lawyers can answer, if I sell my house with and unpermitted basement, and a year later an electrical fire kills the new owner, can his family now go after me for the work I did wrong?
