You certainly seem to have had a bad experience. May I ask, how does the home inspection report (a contingency and part of most contracts) match up with what you have discovered now that you have closed? And, what does your attorney say about all this?
This year I had a house close at 11 AM and a water main leak from the street to the house developed at 12 noon. Contract was good, house closed, cost of repairing leak to the new buyer. Some things are not discoverable on inspection, and town inspectors follow town ordinances, usually for safety and health issues. Now that yours is closed, your attorney is the best path to recourse, especially if there was knowledge and fraud. Professional realtors everywhere hope that you can reach satisfaction. - Sat Nov 21 2009, 05:10
