New Construction - Private Road Disclosure

[crc]

What is the name of your state? Connecticut

I am currently in the process of building a new home in a development. The development consists of a single road with 9 houses. At the time when I drew up a contract with the builder, the builder never mentioned that the road would be a private road and the neighborhood would have to form an assocation. The house is almost complete and now I find this information out. My question is whether I have any legal recourse against the builder for not disclosing this information to me right from day one. I explicidly asked him if the street had any restrictions and he never mentioned that it was a private road. I believe that that was being false to me. I signed the cotnract under false pretenses and would have not done so if I knew the street was a private road. Do I have any legal hold here against the builder?

**A: have a real estate attorney review your contract.

You need to contact the county building inspector and find out what the rules are in your area. Most counties require approval of a subdivision plan and will not agree to a private road. You could also have a problem with your lender.

"Do I have any legal hold here against the builder?"

Only an attorney with access to all the documents can answer your question.
