Sellers notified me of unpermitted remodeling work AFTER receiving (and accepting) offer - is this cause for concern?

For context, it’s a 1950’s home in a competitive Northeast market.

Renovations include:

*Converting an outdoor porch into formal dining room (modification of non-load bearing walls only)

*Add-on Bathroom

*Full kitchen renovation

*New washer/dryer mudroom

All renovations were completed to code and done by licensed contractors but no permits were pulled.

Personally, I’m not concerned with the quality of work but I worry that the lack of permits could create issues down the road should I choose to finish the basement or do add-on renovations. I also worry about the impact on re-sale value. My realtor says that unpermitted work generally goes unseen after a decade, I don’t know if this is true or not. The renovations were completed in recent years.

Would love any insight as this is my first home purchase. Thank you!

North Carolina – “One to Buy; Two to Sell”

I have a house in NC that I bought by myself in 2009, and paid off, in full, in 2022. I got married in 2023. My spouse and I have not lived in the house as our "marital residence". We have maintained separate residences even after we got married. (That a separate topic!). I am now selling this house. Realtors have told us that my husband has to sign the deed at time of transfer but I am not convinced since the house has not been our marital residence. The realtors like to use the phrase "one to buy; two to sell", which seems like a broad-stroke statement which is not applicable under all circumstances. And of course, the realtors don’t realize the details of my specific circumstances: I purchased and paid for the house in full prior to marriage Only my name is on the deed And most importantly, we have never lived in the house as a marit...
