Validity and Deadline Control — Building age and renovation history
Primary official evidence
Start from the best official building record available, such as permit and occupancy/use-permit chronology, and keep later renovation dates separate. A marketing statement such as “newly renovated” does not replace the building’s official chronology. Record the effective, issue, expiry or renewal date relevant to this evidence and test whether it is still fit for the transaction date.
Key verification points
No. Cosmetic finishes should be distinguished from structural alteration or strengthening. If work affected regulated elements, reconcile it with the relevant permit, approved project and available technical records rather than resetting building age from the renovation date.
Document and identity reconciliation
Refresh it after material works, a permit or approved-project amendment, a change of use, strengthening work, a new occupancy decision, or a significant delay between the review and purchase. The file should describe the condition and approvals that exist at the actual decision date.
Timing and change risk
For Validity and Deadline Control — Building age and renovation history, building age should be reconstructed from original permit/occupancy records and documented major renovations; age alone does not establish current condition and cosmetic renovation is not structural renewal.
