[WSBARP] Form 17 for Unimproved -pre construction

[Eric Nelsen]

I got no theory. For what it's worth, I don't think it's a viable case. Buyer intentionally waived Form 17, developer made no representations, and I am pretty sure there is no seller duty to disclose neighborhood conditions or nearby development; it's buyer's duty to investigate such things.

Sincerely,

Eric

Buyer waives Form 17 under 64.06.015 and gets a "podunk" disclosure. As it turns out developer was aware of 4 story mixed use building next to the home he was building. Client of course finds out months after the purchase. Needless to say client is upset. First, anyone have a theory we can go after developer and second, what would be measure of damages and how do we quantify it?

This is a very tall order.
