Purchasing a home with a garage converted into more living space

I might make a purchase on a property that has the garage converted into more space I've never dealt with anything like that before. I don't see it on any records with that modification (permits or anything). How would some of you address this or what are some things I should look out for? Any help would be greatly appreciated thanks. P.S this property is located in Farmington hills, Michigan

@Wendy Patton thank you, for your help. I have reached out to Farmington hills and they said they would care but the appraisers might say something. I am in the middle of coming up with an offer that would compensate for the cost that would have incurred if any. But I will keep you update or possible reach out if I have any further questions, thank you so much for the input greatly appreciated!
