Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Florida
Walk-thru
Purchasing a upscale home. Received credit to purchase W/D & Fridge. Contract L# 14 ''all items per the MLS document #. Did the final walk-thru & 1 of the items on the MLS was an ice maker. Missing. Upscale home, assumed it was built-in like wine cooler. Inquired about the icemaker & was told I could buy one when I used the appliance credit to buy a fridge. I disagreed & didn't sign the walk-thru papers. Broker QUOTE: The category on the MLS document refers to an ice maker that is attached to a refrigerator & since the home is in the same state as when you viewed it & signed the contract, there is no obligation for anyone to produce an ice maker. Also the MLS listing has a disclaimer that information is deemed reliable but not guaranteed. Furthermore you are getting an appliance credt for the appliances which were not included in the home including a refrigerator.''
Not purchasing the house in the ''same state as when I viewed and signed the contract'' as there were numerous items to be replaced or repaired. If it's in the same state as when I viewed it, I would never have purchased it! Or why bother with a walk thru? Any recourse? Can I demand remuneration?

Re: Walk-thru
If the icemaker was a separate unit and listed it should not have been removed. If it was part of the refrigerator, your credit covers it. Same thing as to other items removed.
