Re: Deed Restriction Disclosure Question

More | Report Post

Did you have your own attorney do a title search or rely on
the lender's? If you had your attorney do it, call them and
ask theses questions. If you didn't, you might need to
consult with an attorney. I concur with Justice Mudge, if
there are zoning or deed restrictions of record you are deemed
responsible for finding this out. Unless you are the last
house built to be in the subdivision then you might have an
out. Too confusing to go into here, consult a real estate
attorney in your area for more information
