Buyers rights after sale
I just bought an coop apartment. I was told by the broker that it was 900 Sqf. Based on that we place a bid that was accepted. We later found out that the apartment is only 780 sqf. We feel we not are getting what we are paying for and if we knew the size we would most likely not bought it, or at least given a lower bid. What is my rights here? If anyone know about a similar case please let me know.

Geir,
First of all you may have an ethic complaint against the broker. Contact Professional Standards at Long Island Board of Realtors if they are a realtor, 631-661-4800. Ask for Judy Becker and she will forward you the pertinent information.
If the listing information was fraudulent, you may well have legal grounds for recourse. Contact a reputable real estate attorney for advice. Who did the selling broker work for? What did the listing say?
If you need additional information, please feel free to contact me at your earliest convenience at my office in Bayside at 718-279-8762.
Very truly yours,

Geir,
This is a legal question. Did you have your own Real Estate Lawyer? Was the sq footage in writing and was it approximate? Please contact me by email if you would like a list of reputable NY real estate lawyers
Good luck!
