Impact of permitting illegal ADU/MIL Units on Resale price?
Hey All-
I'm wondering if anyone has any insight on permitting an illegal ADU/MIL unit and its impact on the resale value of the home. Looking at a place that has a very nice ADU but needs some work in order to make it compliant (mainly a proper egress). I estimate between $6k to $10k in costs. So I am debating these options and its impact on re-selling the unit in the future:
1. Leave as is
2. Remove illegal kitchen
3. Permit it
Any insight would be appreciated!
