Have you heard about the couple in Vancouver’s West End that moved into their new condo and discovered that it was already occupied? That’s right. It was a newly renovated $509,000 condominium that wasn’t as perfect as they’d hoped.
Unfortunately, the young couples new home is infested with bats…at least 80 of them. The majority of the bats are living in the walls keeping the owners up all hours of the night. However, one bat was discovered taking a nap on their bed. Worst of all, because of the BC Wildlife Act the bats cannot be forcibly removed.
The provincial government did give them an exemption to this law, but the couple has chosen to wait out the bats. Apparently, once the young bats can fly they will likely move out and find a new home.
Why am I telling you about this? Well, the couple apparently chose to purchase their new home without a property inspection prior to removing subjects. No matter how heated the real estate market becomes, this is one subject that you need to think VERY carefully about not including in any offer you make.
I have to say, this is one result that I couldn’t possibly have imagined on my own…but hopefully we all learn our lesson from this.
