Read the deed restrictions for the subject property. Use a reliable tape measure. Check with Community Standards and Architectural Review to see if any alterations were allowed. File a complaint about any slightest thing that may be suspect.
As part of your contract to buy demand assurance backed by a bond that the property is in compliance.
One would think that Title Insurance policy would indemnify the purchaser against defects caused by non-compliant additions or alterations, but that seems not to be the case.
