If you are thinking of Salt Spring Island Real Estate "Caveat emptor"

If you are thinking of Salt Spring Island Real Estate here is some information. The exception to the caveat emptor rule is a latent defect. The definition of a latent defect is "something that is not easily discoverable". 
What they "can not see" the buyer can sue over....hum it make me think and not sleep some nights...Did the seller disclose everything?

With a patent defect, one that can be seen, the building inspection should be able to find it and identify the repair needed. The home inspector assumes some responsibility in finding these patent defects. Home inspectors have no responsibility in finding latent defects. They do not not tear down drywall and cannot see through floors.

With latent defects the courts can award monetary damages to the buyers after they are living in the house and find the defect. If a Salt Spring home seller cover us a patent defect, it can be interpreted as latent defects by a judge. The judge can award damages.

As a Salt Spring buyers agent the last thing I want is one of my customers buying a house with a latent defect. For more information see this.
