Yes, you have rights.
So far as the transaction goes, however, you're never going to force the owner to sell to you. You may be able to get your out-of-pocket expenses (inspection, loan fee, etc.) paid for upon request; the Seller likely may also be obliged to pay a commission to the brokers involved.
If you put aside the notion that you can force the owner to sell to you, and can demonstrate actual damages, you can pursue that through negotiation and, ultimately, consultation with an attorney as to the merits of a lawsuit.
