What counts as misrepresentation?
A statement of fact that was false and that influenced the purchase. Marketing brochures, sales presentations and messages from staff may form part of the evidence, depending on the contract.
What should I collect?
Brochures, advertisements, floor plans, WhatsApp messages, emails and videos shown at sale. Save them now. Brochure disclaimers are common, so read them with the contract.
