Nope, thats why it's always critical to get a home inspection before buying a house.
Now if you got a home inspection and the inspector didn't give you that information, then you have potential for a lawsuit against the inspector. |

If you can prove in court that the seller must have had knowledge of some of the major defects and didn't disclose them, you might have recourse against them. And if you had an inspection by a licensed inspector who did not turn these up, you might have recourse there also. Otherwise, the problems are yours - not fair maybe, but life isn't sometimes. |

Your mortgage company probably required some type of inspection on the property to insure no foundation problems or termites.
There are definitely laws protecting consumers, but you need to get smart, fast. Before you contact a lawyer, go line by line through every piece of paper you received at the closing. If you have a mortgage, you should have lots of documents. Then find a lawyer specializing in this area, start with the yellow pages and make sure you ask if they are acceping new clients and their success rate.
Realtors are not allowed to sell a damaged home without notifying the buyer. They were not only defrauding you, but also the mortgage company. You're going to need more than luck to get this right. Don't rely on someone else to help you, learn as much as you can... |

If it was new construction you may have a warranty from the builder. If not, you're probably out of luck unless the seller actively concealed defective conditions s/he knew of.

Why did you buy it? Your only recourse is if these problems were not disclosed by the seller. Check your disclosure. |

Did you have the house inspected? It is one way to protect yourself and learn of issues with the house. Have you talked to your broker? |

I don't know if you had a home inspection done or not. Was this information disclosed at the time of your offer, if it was, and you knew about it there's nothing you can do about it, you knew about it and bought it as is.
However, if you didn't know about it, and you did not have a home inspection done, check with your Realtor for options and help.
If you had a home inspection done, check the report and if it says the foundation is good, you maybe able to go after the home inspector. |

Did the seller provide you with a document that states the condition of the house? They are supposed to do that here in Texas. It is suppose to state if the seller has any knowledge of foundation or any other problems with the house. If I were you I would consult with a real estate atty to see what options you have. Good Luck! |

Sadly you may have no recourse because In most states the principle "CAVEAT EMPTOR " prevails. Basically it means "let the buyer beware".
NOUN . . . .The axiom or principle in commerce that the buyer alone is responsible for assessing the quality of a purchase before buying.
So, unless you have written documentation, a licensed inspector's report, or a statement from the seller mis-representing the condition of the house, there isn't much you can do. |

Real Estate Sales & Mortgage Transactions are all subject to the local, state and federal laws.
Home Purchases are usually not allowed by lenders to fund or close unless due diligence work has been done. Unless the buyer signed the WAIVER forms/sections of the purchase agreement, Lenders usually check for services that are standard in home purchases; i.e., inspection, termite/pest.
You, as the homeowner, must receive a copy of all paperwork from your initial offer all the way up to signing closing escrow documents.
Check your records for the following:
1.) Initial Offer & Counter Offers
2.) Fully executed Final Purchase Agreement & All Schedules/Amendments.
3.) Copy of Deposit Receipt
4.) Escrow Instructions & Estimated HUD-1
5.) Inspection Report
6.) Termite/Pest Inspection & Clearance Report
7.) Appraisal Report
8.) Other State-specific forms/reports.
Check your documents line item by line item.
Make your decision based on whatever you re-discover on your paperwork. |
