kristy_dehaven2001 | Just bought a house, we found a fault are we responsible for fixing it? |
Ok we just bought our house, like JUST.. has barely been over a month. My husand was leaning against the wall in the kitchen yesterday and the freaking wall flexed in. Someone at sometime had done a repair and slapped a new piece of drywall up, but never attached it to the studs in the middle, so when you push on it, it flexes in and out. (nice huh?) Anyways, of course we had the house inspected b4 we purchased it, but obviously going around and pushing on every wall is not a regular part of an inspection. We do have a home warranty for a year, but from what I am reading it only covers appliances, heating, a/c, plumbing and the roof. Anyways just curious if anyone knows a way we would be covered to have this fixed or are we just going to have to pay for this? Any suggestions about what to do would be fabulous. We are first time home-buyers and unfortunately a tad clueless about how this works. |

Real estate agents have a contract with the seller. There are two types of contracts, one is an "AS-IS" house, you buy it from the seller in "AS-IS" condition.
The other is covered for a certain amounts of months (could even be days).
The agent (if a reputable company) will also have in their contract hidden damages that will be covered for a number of days or months.
You might be covered for the repair or the labor or both.
Of course your home insurance would probably cover it too. |

It should be covered. There is a such a thing as an implied warranty. Slipshod repair work constitutes fraud. If your warranty does not cover it, go after the seller. |

O.k. Firstly approach the survayor, if you are in the u.k.it would depend on the kind of survay that was carried for the kind of comeback you can expect to get.
Secondly, your solicitor/lawer is the best bet, they should be able to contact the sellers lawer and try to get some response to get money to make right any problems.
I hope you get it all sorted!! and enjoy your new home!! |

Unfortunately since you have already bought the house it is up to you to fix it. The home warranty most likely will not cover the cost of repair and you will be responsible for repairing yourself. Fortunately, repairing a piece of drywall is not that difficult and will only take roughly 1-2 hours to fix. Lowe's or any other home improvement store would provide any materials needed and most likey offer sound advice in order to fix it. Then again, of course, you can always hire someone to fix the wall for you, a problem that small should not be too expensive. |

In your contract of sale/purchase there is a piece of paper work called a construction defect. The sell MUST fill this out- if it is not disclosed then you have 1 year form date of purchase to sue the seller for damages. Contact your real estate agent and start the process. |

call the home warranty company and explain the situation. if that fails, contact the builder (if it was a new home) or the seller and explain, and see what they have to say.
a reputable builder will probably come out and fix it. a plain old seller, well, good luck with that - you may have to take it to small claims court. if all it will take to fix the fault is nailing the drywall to the stud, then mudding over & re-painting, this is a homeowner project on the easiest level... you could just fix it yourself. |

It does not hurt to try, talk to the realtor and the broker who sold you the home. Call the insurance company, investigate and maybe you can get some help. Good luck!!!!!! |

If repairs were done without a building permit (quite likely), and this was NOT disclosed, you have legal recourse! |
|

|
Unless there is a building code violation or the structure has been compromised by the bad repair (ie: repair done on a load bearing wall), I believe you are responsible for fixing it. |

Well the person that showed you the house might try to get over on u and they probably would say that its too late and you should have looked at it before u made a choice and bought the house but i would say that u shouldn't fix it u should confront them and if they refuse then take it to court to see what the judge thinks |

I wuold first read throught the warranty and contract. In general, I am saying that this will probably fall under you. Without having read through everything that would be my guess. |

"unfortunately" is the key word here. you had the inspection, and a wall is considered a "blatant" feature, hence, a feature you can see without detailed inspection. you've accepted the home in its current state, yes with the home warranty, but that is only for coverage of the named items in the policy. actually, drywalling and securing is not that big a job, expensive-wise nor labor-wise. consider it a lesson learned and experience gained, both in real estate and home improvement. good luck to you. |

If you used a realtor, contact them and see what they say about it. I think you're going to be stuck paying for this. You could take the prior owners to small claims court, but it would be a lot of work for just a small thing, and it's likely you wouldn't win the case. |

Unfortunately, it's now your responsibility. If it was something serious like structural damage, or termites, you might have some recourse. It's not a big deal to repair it. |
