MLS stated the house comes with central air but the inspection revealed there is none in the house.
The purchase price was agreed based on the assumption that it does exist, so the request to repair was submitted stating the AC should be provided or give some credit.
The seller/seller's agent declined to accept either options claiming that it was an innocent error by seller's agent when submitting information to MLS.
We like the house but not sure if it feels right to agree with the purchase price even without the AC which was originally presended in MLS and would be very costly to add (due to the limitation of space. etc) We live out of state, so $2500 (airfare, inspection) is already spent to come this far.
Is there any CA RE law that protects our right as buyer? i.e. require seller to provide AC as stated in MLS or offer "reasonable" credit that allows us to install AC? (a few thousands, at least I would imagine)
in case we walk away from this house, is there a way to claim $2500 against the seller/seller's agent as we would have never made an offer to begin with, knowing if the house does not come with AC.
We've got to make a decision quickly. Appreciate any help you can provide..!
