Can I sell my Awendaw house with an unpermitted basement apartment, and does the new legalization pilot help me?

South Carolina has no basement legalization pilot program, so that route some buyers ask about from other states will not apply to an Awendaw sale. An unpermitted basement apartment still has to be disclosed, and a buyer's lender or insurer may require it be brought up to code or removed from the listed square footage. Brian Beatty helps sellers document what exists honestly so it does not derail a deal at inspection.
