Sounds like it’s a good thing you weren’t able to buy the property!
The construction is happening all around the property we already own. They’re putting in new surveys everywhere. The property at the lake is the one we wanted to buy, but the realtor led us down the garden path last year by saying we had the first crack at it. Now they’re putting on MLS and up for bid - it will bring in a fair little bundle. I have written to their lawyer.....we were at best mislead, at worst, lied to.
