In most cases you'll need an inspection when you go to buy a home. Anytime you're changing a house you have to ask yourself "Will this hurt the ability to resell it later on?" This is going to end up on an inspection report and it's either going to have to be remedied or it's going to drop the value.
Possibly, but if homes are in demand and everything else is good, the homeowner could just say ya, I'm not lowering the price or fixing it, if the past couple years are anything to go off it will still sell for asking.
The house I bought with my partner had a non permitted external "extension" (just a separate room not connected to the main house with air conditioned office) and other safety issues on the inspection. We still bought the house, got 2k off for the house not having any ground wiring.
A significant portion of house flippers also don't bother with permits (or inspections) and do a lot of remodeling that requires a permit, they still sell. I understand why permits exist, but as a homeowner doing work on my own home I'm not paying the government shit to allow me to work on my property. Fuck permits.
