A Chinese man's seven-year-old home purchase took a surprising turn when he accidentally discovered a hidden basement, complete with signs of previous occupancy. The previous owner denied disclosing the basement, leading to a legal battle that ultimately resulted in the man gaining rightful ownership.
A young man in China named Li found himself in a shocking situation when he discovered a hidden basement in his new home. Li purchased a secondhand house in a city center for nearly 2 million yuan (RM1.2 million) in 2018. Seven years later, he stumbled upon the secret space while noticing a concealed door at the back of a staircase. Upon entering the basement, Li found clear signs of someone living there, leaving him with an unsettling feeling.
He then learned that the previous owner, Zhang, had not disclosed the basement's existence during the house purchase. Zhang claimed that the basement was not included in the property handover and insisted it remained her personal space. However, Li argued that the basement was part of his property since he had already fully paid for the house. Determined to resolve the issue, Li took the matter to court. The court ultimately ruled in favor of Li, ordering Zhang to pay compensation and officially recognizing Li's ownership of the basement
