When I went house shopping a couple years ago, I was surprised at the number of homes I came across (more than just a handful--fairly common, in fact) where additions were made unpermitted. It seems as if as long as it's disclosed that a room is not permitted, no one cares. "OK, I told you. Everything's now legal." At least that seemed to be the attitude of realtors (oh, I'm sorry, is that supposed to be a capital "R"?) and sellers. Personally I steered clear of that garbage. When the you-know-what hits the fan, I'm usually the guy left holding the bag.
