Now there's something the UK agents are far better at, that sort of behavoir here would end up with the agent getting a criminal record..! |

Hi,
I'm 99% sure this wont include the basement. The realtors can only advertise the developed space and this advert makes no mention of the basement having been developed. SAW 04

SAW 04 BTW, I don't think the house in that ad actually has a basement. It's more likely that there is a room behind the garage, above grade, that is being called a basement. It's listed as being 2-storey. I count three levels. |

Just wondering though, could you not get a detached house for the same price with more space? I mean it looks like you are going to be so close to the house next door, and they might be able to hear all that goes on in your house :eek: |

Realtors do tell porkies though. My house in Oakville was listed as being on a ravine lot. The ravine was near to but not adjacent to my property. And it was more of a ditch. |
Re: A mls listing question, in BC
...from a realtors perspective, sq footage is usually the amount of living space "above grade" that is above ground level.
ie 1800 sq foot home would be the sq footage above grade If there was a basement finished and say it was 600 sq feet they could use the description "total living area" 2400 sq ft ....which is the whole liveable parts of the house Bit confusing but hope that helps |

In the case of 'ravine' they would probably get away with it as it obvious to a buyer. However if the presence of a 'ravine' put, say, $10,000 value onto the property, you might actually have a case. Where abouts in Oakville was your townhouse?
We were in College Park. Not the prettiest part of town, I have to admit. Our house was spectacularly ugly from the outside. Sold incredibly quickly, though. |
