[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I thought I bought a townhouse but it was a condo. They only used the word condo in the legal paperwork. Of course it’s obvious to me now. [/quote]

I’m a transactional real estate attorney.  I used the draft condo and hoa association docs.  An HOA is legally a condominium turned sideways.  They are effectively indistinguishable.  What do you think is different about the two?[/quote]

In my case the condo was poor quality and the walls were paper thin. I could hear everything my downstairs neighbors said. If it were a townhouse I would not even have a downstairs neighbor. It was a 2 level condo that looks at first glance like a townhouse. So mostly the problem was poor quality. Not merely the fact that it was a condo. But it was misrepresented because it was conspicuously labeled as a townhouse on all their documents and advertisements prior to closing. In my opinion a condo should cost less than a townhouse. The word condo would have been a turn off to me in my search for a townhouse. So their misrepresentation fooled me.

Um, how did you not realize it was a condo when you visited and saw that the building had more stories than your unit had and multiple front doors? This sounds like a you problem.[/quote]

Don’t be an ass first of all.

It was a 2 story building.  Again. Don’t be you. [/quote]

I still don’t understand how you didn’t notice this. [/quote]
