Copy-paste error leads to woman getting whole neighbourhood of 86 homes realestate_au BrendoCasey
The error was at least obvious enough that it was noted almost immediately — but the damage had already been done.
“Because it was pretty clear a mistake was made, our assessment services division reached out to Westminster Title right away so they could begin working on correcting the chain of title for the 86 properties transferred in error,” Burke explained.Such copy-paste errors in fact happen “fairly often,” although rarely do they involve so many properties.
“This particular case is just a little more interesting because of the number of lots involved,” Burke said. Although amusing, fixing the erroneous land grab will be quite a headache, and require the homebuyer to transfer the title back to Toll Brothers, who will then in turn transfer it to new property owners through typical channels.
“I think someone could try to make things difficult. However, the title company also has the offer and acceptance for the purchase on file so intent is pretty clear,” Burke told the Journal.
