Do I have to Apply COA for walking in shower for selling a house

lasman

Plan to see a house but the agent said our walking-in shower needs to apply COA which would cost approx $5000. Anyone working in the council could give some suggestions this? thanks

Do you really think "anyone working in the Council" can give you a right answer? How about someone   ...

Thank you 陌生的香港人 for your reply! I did check this regulation first. The work was carried out by a proper contractor from trademe in a couple years ago, so it is within the time window of eligibility of CoA. When I started this, I was not aware of applying this otherwise, I would not opt to walking in shower. However, the cost put me off and wondering if it is worth to do it. Or anyway to get the cost lower.

Do you really think "anyone working in the Council" can give you a right answer? How about someone  working in Council's accounting/ IT team - do you think they can tell you want you need to know about a COA?

You may not be even entitled to apply for a COA if you cannot prove your shower was built after the Building Act was enacted in 1992, in this situation, you can only get someone to do a Safe and Sanitary Report and put it in your property file.
