Misrepresentation in the disclosures

[Jeremy Segermeister]

I’m in escrow on a lot in California. To make a long story short, the sellers attached an older and incorrect version of the lot size in the disclosures. I was let to believe that the lot was 15% wider than it is (63’ vs 73’). I was not aware of this until I paid to have an architect and surveyor conduct an assessment of the site.

I am deciding if I want to move forward with the sale, but I want to get everyone’s opinion if I would be entitled to reimbursement from the sellers because if their error. I paid a deposit of $12k to the architect and $2400 to the surveyor. I may be able to recoup some of it, but there are of course no guarantees.
