Is there a "Lemon Law" for houses?
I bought a house two months ago. My home inspection turned up a few items and the seller fixed those items. In the state of North Carolina, you cannot sue a home inspector. It's even outlined in the agreement prior to the inspector going out to do the inspection.

This house, though, has been a nightmare! It's only 16 years old, but I've had a pipe burst, insulation pulled and replaced, buckled vinyl flooring replaced, wax ring on the toilet go bad, rotted out the floor, leaks from skylights in the sunroom, faulty wiring, breakers tripping, roof leaking, and this is only after two months.

What's next? This house is the money pit. I'm a single female, first time home buyer. My dad was right, though sexist, when he said I should've gotten married first. Ha!

So is there any relief or alleviation for home owners who have purchased a lemon of a house?

A fire would be the best thing.

I would think your state would have some disclosure laws. In other words if the sellers were having these problems before and they did not admit them on the disclosure form. You need to see a lawyer.

basically, no. Unless you have some sort of agreement legally signed and binding. Houses are allot of work but it sounds like you did get a lemon...i would advise you to clean it up best you can and sell it...

My first house was built in 1926, 1957 and 1978. (3 different rooms built at different times) ( I bought it in 2001) But your house sounds not too bad. Everything you mentioned, with the exception of the electricity is pretty typical and minor. I had my house 6 months and had to replace the entire roof. In today's market, selling would only be worse, since it is not a sellers market. Just get a do it yourself book and fix the minor things yourself. The major ones (the electricity, roof and skylights), look for someone reputable that will accept payments. Worked for me.....except I got my boyfriend to do my roof. Good luck

Yes, you can do something, first the inspector should have caught this, ask for a full refund for his services. Second you can write a letter send it certified to the Real Estate broker and tell them they will be named in a law suite you will be filing and tell them to avoid it is to work with you for a refund of some kind to help you repair the house. You can get some help, find a good Realtor attorney. GOD Bless and Good luck, Jackie

As a NC homeowner, I can't think of any, BUT I would contact a realestate Attourney though..

First, the burst pipe should be covered under your home owners insurance. There is no warranty on a used home. Only on new ones. If there was something radical, you could consult an attorney to see if you have grounds to sue the previous owner.

Sounds like someone payed off the inspector, I had that happen the first time I bought a house. Nothing I could do about it. I just had a house built last December and so far I have had 3 floods, a fire, uneven floors. cracks in the stucco outside. I have named it "Hell House"

That's too bad when you have an inspection and things still break or go wrong, however the house is 16 years old, and nothing lasts forever. While I don't necessarily agree with NC law not to sue the inspector, did you select one that was certified? Most states have no licensing requirements for inspectors. I agree with dad, should have married first! lol I hope things go better for you now. But no I don't think you have any recourse.

unfortunately no lemon law for houses. I went through a similar problem (lived in NC too). best bet is to fix it up as best you can and see if you cant sell it and find another house.
