Some friends of ours looked at the house the other day. The fact that there will be homes going up on the lot behind the house was not disclosed. Maybe it doesn’t have to be.
At what point in the process are the ‘papers’ of the master plan disclosed to the buyers? If at close, then that is less than optimal.
I guess the moral of the story is to do your homework on the status of any surrounding lots because you can’t count on the selling agent or your agent to do it for you (not that anyone should be surprised by this).
