I was sold a house with foundation problems, and it wasn't disclosed when I bought it. What can I do?
I have been in my house for 1 year. But my real state agent never went over the inspection report with me, not only that I didn't even get a termite inspection. I am a first time home buyer, I'm only 27 and my sister is 21. These are some of the things we didn't know, and our real state agent didn't act fairl by at least telling us what we were getting ourselves into. In fact I just found out, her name doesn't even appear in any of the documents we signed. NOWHERE AT ALL !! Me and my sister don't know exactly what to do. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks yahoo community.

I am having the same problems. I was in CO and bought a house in KY so was relying heavily on the agent. Had the home inspection etc and it passed everything but a few cosmetic issues. I've spent $6000 this month having asbestos removed, leaking gas fires and gas lines removed, new electric water heater as the gas one was venting through into the bedroom and nearly gassed us all. GET A LAWYER!
I have and we are suing the insurance companies of both the agent and the home inspector plus the previous owners as they built a deck without planning permission (not disclosed). Then file complaints with the State boards which license both the agent and inspector. I've done that too and submitted photos etc. Don't let them get away with it because they will just move onto the next person. We nearly lost our lives because of the gas fumes and carbon monoxide venting and I have a 2 year old son. That's what pushed me to go after them.
Good luck!

It is not the agent's responsibility to go over your inspection report with you. That should happen between you and the inspector. I presume you WERE present for the inspection ?

That being said, I also presume you DID get a copy of the inspection report prior to closing. Did you read it ? Did it disclose a foundation defect ? If it did not disclose the defect, you may have recourse against the inspector for missing a defect.

You may also have recourse against the former owner, but only if you can somehow prove that the seller was aware of the defect and failed to disclose it properly.

Aside from those scenarios, you are rather on your own here.
If you think you have a legal case, please contact a qualified attorney for further guidance.

Were you at the inspection? The person to be asking about the inspection report is the inspector, not the agent. The reason you have a professional inspect your home is because the agent does not know about things like foundations.

Each state has different consumer protection laws, sounds like you need to consult an attorney about your rights in your state.

Find a lawyer who has a speciality in real estate. They should be able to advise you on what your rights are. Depending on which where you live will decide what your legal rights. You could also try to fing your agent but may have a problem there due to her being in it for the money. Unfortunately where the home inspection is concerned, you may be stuck due to the fact that I think they (the experts) say that it is usually YOUR responsibility to geta a COMPLETE home inspection. But again this may depend on where you live. Hope this helps and good luck.

Oh wah, wah, wah....your agent is not responsible for spoon feeding you the inspection report. It's the biggest purchase in most people's lives, you be responsible for yourself and look out for your own best interests. You can't blame anyone else at this point.

Two people here are at fault.

1. You. Did you not look at the inspection report after paying for it? Why even both paying for one if you aren't going to look at it.

2. Your agent. A GOOD agent would have made sure you knew about it. I don't *think* you can go after your agent. But, I would consult an attorney on that note. But, I would contact her and ask if she knew about the problem. Then her broker. If what she did was not illegal, then she's just not a good agent. In any event, you should have looked at the report.

You will have to look over your disclosure form and make sure it wasn't...then the hard part is proving the previous owners knew about it or not.
You should have purchased a home warranty..if not you may see about a 2nd job.
Live an learn. You're young.

I bought my first house nine months ago. Looking back I guess I should have been more alert to the sellers eagerness to sell. I had my home inspection done everything the inspector found was fixed nothing major. Now I find out that my duct design is the worst ever and inadequate. Thats not even the worst part. Not only have I been told to scrap the whole thing and start over. Are you ready for this one. I have no heating source at all. We just went through one of the worst winters in 20 yrs and my light bill tripled.What we thought was a heat pump turns out to be an empty container with heating coils that could never heat my entire house. Something has got to be done about these people that would do something like this to innocent people. I love my house and we will get it fixed like we have a choice. I however will be contacting an attorney to find out what can be done if anything. To all of you out there looking to buy a house get more than one inspection and get inspectors that have varying specialties. You won't be able to catch everything but maybe you can save yourself some major headaches.
