Mortgage Monday: No Permit for Finished Basement [Video]

mortgage insuranceThis week’s video, Jim Cardinal and special guest Gus Gillberg with Tischler Gillberg LLC discuss potential pitfalls when buying or selling a house with no permit for finished basement. Many homes in Albany / Capital Region have finished basement. However, far too often the finished basement work was done without the proper permit from a local municipality.

Gus has dealt with transactions of involving homes without a finished basement permit many times and outlines the very simple process for ensuring that work on a finished basement is completely with the proper authority and documentation.
