CAVEAT EMPTOR The principle of "Caveat Emptor" ("let the buyer beware") applies to Real Estate transactions exactly as it docs to other purchases. Inspection is at the purchaser's risk and this is why you cannot be too thorough or ask too many questions when viewing homes. When you eventually make an offer to purchase on a home, you arc in effect agreeing to accept it in "as is" condition, unless of course, otherwise stated in writing, in your agreement. It will be presumed, therefore, that you have taken into account all defects when determining the offer price. As a vendor however, you do have a responsibility to deal fairly with Purchasers and Realtors. If a buyer is prevented by you from making a proper inspection of your property or is misled by deceit, fraud or misrepresentation he will probably have recourse through the courts at a later dale. So the message is quite simply put, "let the Vendor beware" also! We desperately need listings for our spring market!
