A couple of things to keep in mind - when you sign the disclosure you need to make sure there aren't any old pictures of the place prior to you buying it.  If there are (Redfin keeps pictures going back years) and something goes wrong they can come after you for failing to disclose you did the work.  That's actually something you might want to pull a permit for since most places require some form of inspection for that kind of plumbing work.  If you've got a place like AtBC where people are paying 10-20% over asking, waiving inspections, and paying all closing you can get away with that, if it's a condo you're rolling the dice on something that's likely to come up snake eyes.
