What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Texas
Hello,
We purchased a home about a year ago in a neighborhood that is still growing with lots of construction. During the home purchase process I indicated I wanted to see the home under construction and was informed that there were issues in doing so due to OSHA but no one would stop me if I went and viewed the home after the trades people and construction crews were not on site. Everything went well an no issues.
Fast forward a year later...may have a family member buying a home in the same neighborhood and took him to see a home that was framed with partial drywall installed - apparently someone called the cops and I had a lot of explaining to do. The conversation was left that if the home is not mine (said sold on a sign in the yard) that I had no business in it and that they would be in touch with the builder (DR Horton). Not too concerned with that since the sales person is aware we're looking.
I find it odd the cops want to verify things with the office (they took down information and said they would be in touch) and verified no damage in the home.
Is this normal? In the past I've never had any issues viewing homes under construction or even being there with the builders on site.
Times are changing I guess...
