I am in the process of buying a house. We did a visit and made an offer. After some negotations, the house is now under contract.
We revisited the property to check on a "Jacuzzi" listed as one of the facilities inbuilt in the property. We could not find any. I contacted the seller's agent, who first said she did not know and will have to ask the sellers. Then she came back saying there is NO jacuzzi, the seller never said there was one and it was a mistake on her (the agent's) part to have listed it. I understand a Spa/Jacuzzi is not a fixture and is a permenent fitting (like other plumbing,etc) which has not to seperately itemized like fixtures to be included in an Agreement of Sale. What should I do to NOT allow the seller and their agent to get away with False and Misleading ads on the MLS ? Has anyone gone through a similar situation, taken for a ride by slimy agents? Is there any site where I can read results of similar situations and their resolution? Thanks for your help.
