Q: Who is required to to inform Buyer of zoning restrictions, Real Estate Broker, Owner or due diligence by buyer in Ohio?
Owner had no idea what Buyer wanted to do with the property. Property was sold on a" AS IS" basis. This was after the inspection was completed. Buyer wants to sell beer on property. That is a zoning restriction. Who is responsible by law in Ohio?
A: Zoning laws are matters of public record, so a buyer is legally deemed to have knowledge of them. And most deeds typically convey the property subject to all zoning ordinances and restrictions. And if the property is sold As-Is, that further puts the burden on the buyer to fully investigate -- buyer beware. Use the Find a Lawyer tab to retain a local real estate attorney to review the sales contract and advise you.
