Can the owner of a single family home obtain an attorney fee award against the developer?
Yes, if the home is part of a subdivision created under the Washington Condominium Act. If the home is not part of such a subdivision, attorney fees may be awarded if there is an attorney fee provision in a sales contract with the developer that would apply to the claim. Also, a successful claimant under the Washington Consumer Protection Act will be entitled to an attorney fee award.
