Two years ago, Mr. Sun and Ms. Wang, under the introduction of an intermediary company, took a fancy to a second-hand house, and they were very satisfied with all the conditions of the house, so they signed a purchase contract with the intermediary company and spent millions to buy the house.
However, just two years after buying the house, Mr. Sun and Ms. Wang unexpectedly discovered that the house had been the scene of vicious crimes, and people had even been killed in it. This news was like a bolt from the blue for them, and they couldn't accept that what they bought was actually a murderous house.
So, Mr. Sun and Ms. Wang approached the agency and demanded a refund of the house payment and compensation for their losses. However, the intermediary company rejected their request for various reasons. After several unsuccessful negotiations, Mr. Sun and Ms. Wang decided to take the seller to court.
In court, Mr. Sun and Ms. Wang's lawyers put forward the following points: First, they believed that the agency had not fulfilled its obligation to inform when selling the house, and had failed to inform them that there had been a vicious case in the house they purchased. Secondly, according to the relevant legal provisions, the seller should inform all the information about the property when selling the house, and the agency company clearly failed to fulfill this obligation. Therefore, the intermediary company and the seller should bear the corresponding liability for compensation.
However, the seller and the intermediary company have different views on Mr. Sun and Ms. Wang's claims. They argued that all the information about the house had been clearly stipulated in the purchase contract, and that Mr. Sun and Ms. Wang did not raise the question of whether there had been a vicious case in the house when they purchased the house. In addition, they also believe that the agency has fully understood and investigated the situation of the house, and there is no deliberate concealment.
AI Assistant Creation Season In response to the disputed points between the two parties, the court conducted an in-depth trial. Based on the relevant legal provisions and the facts of the case, the court held that the seller and the intermediary company should compensate Mr. Sun and Ms. Wang. First of all, the seller should inform all the information about the house when selling the house, and the agency is also obliged to fully understand and investigate the situation of the house. Secondly, although all the information of the house is stipulated in the purchase contract, the seller and the agent company should be more cautious when selling the house, especially for information that may affect the buyer's decision-making, such as a vicious case. In the end, the court ordered the seller and the intermediary company to refund the price of the house to Mr. Sun and Ms. Wang and compensate for the corresponding losses. Mr. Sun and Ms. Wang were very satisfied with the verdict, and they said they would continue to protect their legitimate rights and interests. This case also reminds the majority of buyers that they should be more cautious when buying a house, not only to look at the condition of the house and other factors, but also to know all the information about the house. At the same time, intermediaries and sellers should also be more cautious in their obligation to inform to avoid similar problems.
