We recently bought a brand new condo with 800 square feet in NJ. After moving in for 6 weeks, we were informed by our lawyer that the square footage calculations previously provided to us were incorrect and according to the corrected calculations, my unit now is actually 780 square feet. From the start, we were not only informed by the seller’s realtor, the owner of the building, but also the appraiser hired by the mortgage company that it has 800 square feet. We feel we were mislead. If I knew the condo was smaller, I would have adjusted my offer price accordingly.
We talked to our lawyer and he said that we don’t have a case because the master deed somehow has the correct square feet. Is there anything I can do now? It's unethical and unfair to first home buyer like us. Please give me some suggestions. Thanks.
