Building orders are most consequential when they relate to fire-safety systems or structural integrity. Both can affect your ability to obtain insurance at standard rates or to obtain finance from some lenders. Orders for unauthorised works (typically unapproved extensions or granny flats) are common and usually resolved via a Section 96 modification or demolition, but they can complicate settlement. Always have your conveyancer review the Section 10.7 certificate for any orders before exchange.
