lLegal real estate questions – Calgary Alberta?
As first time buyers, we didn’t know that if we would wave the house inspection condition and turn them in terms, we cannot back out of the deal. The sellers didn’t meet the terms of the contract and we have only 7 days left until possesion date. Stupid of us, our lawyer is our realtor husband who do not returns our calls. We are worried and our realtor assure us that everyting is OK with the basement wiring and we should sign. The basment was developed with no permits and now the sellers cannot provide a letter from City of Calgary that the wiring in the basement is up to the Safety Codes. They got only a yellow sticker attached to the electrical panel. We do not know what to do. Our apartment was rented out. What is the worse that could happen to us? We put $10,000 deposit and the rest will be at closing. Thank you for your answers.
I find it hard to follow the question. You might want to clarify it a bit.
First the lawyer is not returning your calls. Call him and leave him a message. Tell him he must call you back that day or that you will be reporting him to the bar. His behaviour is a violation of the code of professional conduct. He never should have put himself in a position where he is in a conflict of interest position. Because his wife and thus the lawyer stands to gain a large commission on the sale of the home there is a obvious conflict.
I don’t understand the first part of the question. You waived the inspection and instead had specific terms that are not being met now? or did you skip the inspection and now there are terms you wish had been included.
My suggestion would be to contact a real estate new real estate lawyer and explain the situation to him. Real estate lawyers don’t charge much and I think you need someone independent. The realtor and her husband might actually be liable for any losses here so you want to have someone looking out for you who is actually independent.
I wish I could be of more help. Unfortunately real estate law is no profitable or interesting so I never really cared to learn about it. Your question is also hard to understand. If you re-write it I’ll take a look again tomorrow and it might make more sense and I might be able to give you a better answer.
