Are You About Ready to Buy a New Home?
Are you about ready to buy a new home? Are you seriously considering buying in an area where you actually don’t know where you are? You don’t know the neighbors? So you’re relying upon the disclosures in the contract from the seller? A seller has a duty and obligation to disclose certain things.
We recently had a conversation with an individual who bought a home. Learn that the seller went to the next door neighbors and asked them to move their cars, , asked them to keep the music down, asked them not to throw parties while he was trying to sell the property. That’s illegal.
That new homeowner has a potential lawsuit against the seller, or if it’s early enough, potential rescission of the contract. But, ultimately, If you’re a homeowner selling a piece of property, don’t hide facts like that. Be honest with Your disclosures, be honest with the seller, because at the end of the day, the last thing you want to do is get drawn into a lawsuit, and it’s better off for everybody.
