Hello,
my husband and I recently wanted to buy a building plot. To be on the safe side, since it is a hillside plot, we had a building ground report prepared in advance with the consent of the owner or his agent.
Now the purchase has fallen through because we wanted a withdrawal clause in the contract due to a necessary preliminary building inquiry. The agent and we, and presumably also the owner (whom we never spoke to), did not want to agree to this and canceled the whole thing.
The plot is still not sold, and we now have a building ground report that is of no use to us.
I remember reading somewhere that the owner is obliged to show potential buyers an existing building ground report. My question is whether this is true and where I can find this information. If we cannot buy the plot, at least we could recover part of the costs for the report.
The agent would have to purchase the report from us to show it to other potential buyers.
Thank you for your answers.
