House for sale, nudists welcome

[mrs fish]

KELOWNA -- House buyers beware -- you can't back out of a purchase just because there's a nude beach nearby.

The B.C. Court of Appeal has upheld a lower-court ruling that a Kelowna couple must surrender a $100,000 deposit on a failed house deal.

Ron and Marlene Allen had stopped payment on their deposit cheque when they found out a nude beach was one lot over from the waterfront house on Okanagan Lake.

Neighbours told the Allens that naked people often frolicked in front of the house.

But a judge ruled the presence of parading nudes in front of one's house may or may not be a defect, calling it a subjective decision.

The judge also ruled the house sellers were not required to disclose the existence of the nude beach to prospective buyers.

I bet Ron still wanted to go ahead with the purchase

Can't believe the word NUDISTS in a thread title didn't provoke even a sniff of interest

I imagine it was at a premium to similar houses not so close to the Nudist Beach.

But not as expensive as the ones closer

In England and Wales, don't know about Scotland where the law is different, the judge would have to reach the opposite conclusion providing the buyer had asked the seller questions about local occurances that might compromise peaceful enjoyment of the property.
