How do I know whether an Awendaw townhouse was legally converted, and what happens if it was not?

Confirming an Awendaw townhouse was legally converted starts with pulling the permit history for the property directly from Charleston County, since a conversion done without the proper permits can create real problems for a buyer down the line. If the conversion was never permitted, a buyer may inherit responsibility for bringing the property up to code, and financing or insuring it can also become more difficult until that is resolved. A title search and a knowledgeable closing attorney can help flag this issue before a purchase closes rather than after. Brian Beatty can help a buyer pull that permit history early in the process for a specific Awendaw property.
