Real estate agent providing misleading information?
Hi, I am looking at buying a unit in an adjoining complex (different body corp). The for sale sign states that the unit has 2 parking
spaces (one in a garage and one on driveway in front of garage). However, there is a "no parking in driveway" sign at the entrance
to the driveway. My current body corp bylaws state that parking is prohibited in driveways, and i strongly suspect the
body corp of the unit I am interested in buying has the same bylaws. When I spoke to the real estate agent about this,
he said that the vendor had said it is legal to park in the driveway. Can the real estate agent just rehash what a vendor says to
be true, or do they need to know what is true. If i bought the unit on the basis of 2 car parks and find later that the body
corporate bylaws prohibit parking in a driveway, who is responsbile for the misleading information? The vendor or the real estate agent?
Thanks
Mark.
