Legal Question in Real Estate Law in California
sq ft of mobile home misrepresented 2 times
I purchased a mobile home from Hanson Realty 3 years ago for 45,000
The title says it is 14' x 60' - 840 sq feet
I went to Hanson Realty this year to sell my home
A Hanson realtor came out and measured my home and listed it with the same dimensions
My contract was over with Hanson after 8 months
I went to Cole Realty and they measured it at 14' x 56' (4 ft shorter) 784 sq ft
I have emailed Hanson 3x now because my title is wrong and I complained about the descrepancy with no replies
My question is what can I do about Hanson Realty's error (twice) regarding my loss of square feet.
I live in California

Probably nothing, unfortunately. You would have to show how you lost in the bargain - and without a doller per square foot contract, you would be hard pressed to show any loss. If this was a material fact to you purchasing the home, you might have a slim chance of getting out of the deal, but that too is unlikely.

You have a negligence action for the amount of value in the difference of square feet. You may add negligent and intentional misrepresentation and fraud to your suit. Call me directly at 6192223504.
