The purchaser will be out of luck if there is a problem with the builder.Recently, the Superior Court of Justice considered such a case. The pu...

Disclosure of Related PartyIf you are a real estate agent and you are selling your OWN house, you have to tell the other side. This applies even if you’re not the one listing it. That’s set out in the Act. You have to also indicate in writing anything that you know about the property, including what’s about the happen in the neighbourhood which would affect value.When it comes to the “related party” disclosure, that’s something completely different. The obligation is set out in the Code. You only tell your own clients and your own customers. No one else cares!If you are selling your daughter’s house, you only tell your own Clients and Customers. They are interested, since you are acting for them buying your daughter’s house, or they are competing with your daughter purchasing another ho...
