New Townhouse purchase being used as Office without disclosure
I recently dropped an deposit for a pre-construction stacked condo townhouse with a move in date for 2020. I'm currently in day 1 of the 10 day cooling period. After we registered the unit and signed the Agreement of Purchase, we went on a tour of the unit and discovered the property is being used as the development project sales office. I also noticed a one page "as-is clause" legal document in the provided agreement package (beware of electronic agreements!), which indicate the builder is not responsible for repairing certain damages such as scratches, scuffs or plumbing caused by using the unit as an sales office. An agent did verbally mention that the builder will make necessary repairs during the pre-delivery inspection. However, the as-is clause was not disclosed nor was it mentioned anywhere in the brochures that the unit will be used as an office until occupancy (summer 2020). I'm worried because the appliances (provided for free by the builder) are also being used by the office staff. Not to mention someone else is using my toilet!
I've talked to a few agents and they've mentioned the builder should have disclosed the as-is clause and that the unit is planned to be used as an office. The price of the unit is not discounted nor is it a model home.
Any thoughts or suggestions before I reach out to the builder negotiate some concessions?
