Show answer & explanation
Answer
D. (i), (ii) and (iii) only
Explanation
(i) is correct: stated areas must be accurate and not misleading, so mixing strata area with void/ledge space is improper. (ii) is correct: virtually-staged or enhanced images must not misrepresent the unit's actual condition. (iii) is correct: material facts relevant to buyers, such as the unit being tenanted, should not be misleadingly concealed. The answer is (i), (ii) and (iii) only.
Why the other options are wrong
- (iv) is wrong: a size figure cannot be quoted just because it sounds attractive; it must be truthful.
