Re: real estate
The imbedded question is when does the statute begin to run. Also, the question implies a non-commercial seller as there may be different treatment of a commercial housing developer (i.e. strict liability). More information and an initial consultation to review paperwork is necessary to answer the "real" questions you are asking. These answers aren't always simple, which is why my husband says he hates arguing with a lawyer - the answer always seems to be "it depends". Please call for a consultation if you want to explore this matter in more depth.
