Slash Says He Was Burned on Real Estate Deal

Saul Hudson -- or as he's better known, "Slash" of Guns N' Roses and Velvet Revolver -- and his wife have filed suit over a house they say they were duped into buying.

TMZ obtained the lawsuit, filed today in L.A. County Superior Court, against real estate agent Gregory Holcomb and Sotheby's International Realty, in which the Hudsons claim they "thought they had found their dream house," but say it turned out to be a nightmare.

The suit says, among other things, they were told the house was on a private, gated street. The house, they allege, turned out to be on a public street with very little parking. They also say it was much smaller than the 7800 sq. ft. in the listing, and there were issues with the home's title.

Because they say Holcomb and Sotheby's withheld this information from them, the Hudsons have suffered "grief, shame, humiliation, embarrassment, anger, worry, disappointment, nervousness, stomach disorders, backaches, loss of appetite and inability to concentrate on work." They are suing for an amount in excess of $1 million.

3. RICH PEOPLE BUY HOUSES WITHOUT LOOKING ON THE WEB, PEOPLE WHO ARE IN ANOTHER COUNTRY DEPEND ON REAL ESTATE AGENT'S TO GIVE THEM THE PROPER INFORMATION, THAT THE CLIENT IS PAYING FOR. THEY DESERVE EVERY PENNY BACK. SLASH ROCK'S

4. These lawyers are trying to rook them as well - this suit has no basis, and whoever drew this up had no idea what a "title defect" is, and that it has absolutely nothing to do with square footage. And basically, the street *does* seem that it was a private street if it is covered by CC&Rs that restrict parking.

What a mess. The Title Company lawyers and Sotheby's will make mince meat of this suit. I feel kinda bad for Slash! It's a shame that they didn't have someone truly out to guide *them*. Not someone who was profiting specifically on the sale.

Maybe Slash can join the low IQ radical racist Democrat Bonds as low IQ losers of the year - don't you just love the low class liberals like these 2 & the Clintons?

11. Who buys a house these days without looking at it? This was supposed to be their dreamhouse yet if they had actually looked at it, they would've known all of the obvious problems they've suggested they discovered.

Slash is like the racist Simpson "... oh I can do no wrong ..." - so cool - move into the lousy house & fix it up - do a little work for a change - radical liberal Democrat.

13. See that's the thing about us normal folk. We:
a) don't believe we're too "good' to check out property ourselves
b) understand what a title search is
c) have basic visual and math skills
d) we know when it's time to retire to Florida

Can you say washed up, used up, sorry and old?
