Q: The title of this may seem obvious, but heres a strange one. Im currently bidding on a new building here in Northern Ireland. Its in a development and is marketed as a detached house. Thing is that it actually is a carport connected to the home next door through a large steel bar with the roof of the carport on both houses. The other side wall of the house the other neighbors carport attached to my front wall. So I can just walk around the building without going into my neighbors driveway. The agency insists that it would be regarded as if it was a link detached garage and a carport not link. Thing was a pretty top notch carport, which really only needs a door on the front and back into a garage. Anyway im thinking wrongly described and it should really be described as a linked terrace, given that the same on both sides.
Whats your thoughts? This will obviously affect the selling price if it was wrongly described. I asked the EA How do I intended to paint the front wall without asking my neighbor for permission to drive away. They have assured me that wayleave is built into the purchase agreement for maint of the facade wall.
Also should be mentioned as standing in the title deeds? what happens if I buy and then find it isnt really classified as detached, I can claim money back from the builder, because it wrongly, 977,503 out all thoughts on this would be great
thanks

Provision will be made probably as a covenant on the deeds allowing access to adjoining property for maintenance & repair.
