can you sell driveway/garage seperate from a house in massachutts
I saw a listing for a multi family in Massachusetts for a multi family and one of the disclosures was that the driveway and garage are not included in the sale they would be a separate sale. Since the driveway and garage are on the property card as part of that parcel and you could not sub divide the property to make those a separate parcel could you legally sell the driveway/garage separate?

So according to the listing agent the seller wants to keep the driveway and garage for some reason even though the seller lives over a mile away. if they sell the driveway and garage it is and extra 200k. The property is not subdivided but they think they can subdivide it even though the resulting properties would lack the required frontage and square footage. It was initially on as one price then 3 days later the lowered it by 200k and put that the driveway/garage are separate sale. The whole thing seems a little fishy to me like they are trying to attract buyers at a lower price and they jack the price by 200k if you want the whole property. What I wonder is if they get a buyer who doesn't want it and then they go ahead and the town says that they will not subdivide it what happens? Can they back out of the deal because they would have to give the whole property at a price they dont like?
