Now ask yourself is that type of community you want to live in? Not so clear cut is it?

Yes, unfortunately the BUYERS did not do their due diligence it is the BUYERS responsibility to check this. I do feel sorry for them, and I really would expect the title company to actually complete this as part of their services.
