Final Answer : True, Explanation :  This situation involves a discrepancy between what was represented by the vendor and the actual condition of the property as revealed by a survey. The purchaser, upon discovering the discrepancy, may either renegotiate the terms of the sale to reflect the reduced value of the property (accept it with abatement) or choose to terminate the agreement and walk away from the sale, as the property does not meet the conditions as represented at the time of the offer.
