Guns N Roses guitarist Slash is suing a real estate broker for misrepresenting a house he and wife Perla Hudson bought in January 2006. He claims that it was sold to them as an ideal home for parties, but that it’s too small and is located on a street with restricted parking:

A Los Angeles judge ruled today (January 23) that Slash and his wife can proceed with a lawsuit against the brokers who sold them their house because it’s not, in their eyes, suitable for parties.

The former Guns N’ Roses guitarist claims that real estate agent Gregory Holcomb and Sotheby’s International Realty misrepresented the Hollywood Hills house, saying it was a good location to hold big bashes.

The couple, who bought the house in 2006 and sold it in 2007, claim that the home was smaller than advertised and is located on a street with parking restrictions, inhibiting their ability to throw large parties. As a result, they are seeking more than $1 million and punitive damages, reports the Associated Press.

Did Slash and his wife Perla fail to look at the house before handing over the money? Did they not view documents giving the exact proportions of the house and the property boundaries?

This may be a case of a real estate agent being called out on their false advertising. Isn’t real estate-speak just some kind of code? ‘Renovators delight’ means unlivable. ‘Street has character’ means the house is located next door to a brothel.

Slash and Perla claim that they have never lived in the home, buying it for $6.25million in January 06 and selling it for $5.725million almost two years later, as they were also concerned about security following an attempt by a fan to enter their home. They have obviously lost money in selling the home, and incurred running costs.
