A Chinese homeowner discovered his purchased apartment did not actually exist, years after completing the transaction. The buyer invested in a unit on the 34th floor of a building that was only 32 stories tall. Despite the clear impossibility, the sale proceeded without issue initially. The buyer is now seeking redress, but is unlikely to receive compensation for his loss. This case highlights potential issues with property development and oversight in China. The incident underscores the risks associated with real estate investments and the importance of thorough due diligence. Authorities are investigating the circumstances surrounding the fraudulent sale.
