Gonzalez Disclosure
Things have been pretty busy since the last post — wedding planning has stepped up a notch (i.e. we’re actually doing something now), and I’m still pretty much spending every Saturday popping into assorted open-house inspections.
Anyway, I never thought I’d come across one of these, but for one of the properties, I found this Special Condition in the contract:
The Vendor discloses that there may have occurred within or upon the property the most extreme human and/or other obscenities the Purchaser can imagine. Without limiting the scope and meaning of “obscenities”, they may include extreme acts in violation of the criminal and other law, acts of sacrilege, Satanism, hedonism, acts in abuse of culture or custom and acts calculated or likely to induce disgust, dread, horror, repugnance and/or revulsion on any scale in good men and women. The purchaser acknowledges that it is a matter for his due diligence to exercise his own imagination for the purpose of this Special Condition.
I wonder what happened…
Did you ask the agent?
The agent did mention something along the lines of: “I should let you know that there is a suspected problem with the property” and that was it.
I’m going to ring up the strata managers on Monday and see if they know anything. Surprisingly, I talked to a neighbour — who has been living in that complex for 25 years and been on the strata committee for almost that long — who said that she didn’t know anything weird had happened in that place.
That said, she did mention that the current owners of the property have been very hard to get along with.
Hmmm…
