Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Georgia

Did the previous owner tell you that no patch work was completed on the house? If no comments were made regarding patch work, the buyer has the burden of completing a due diligence before the purchase of the property.

Your question implies that the previous seller committed fraud, however you did not give enough information to come to that conclusion. Your question as stated is unanswerable.

Are we to guess what "patch work" is? What house more than a few months old does not have a repair somewhere? "Patch work" is meaningless. What is the "lie?" You also left that out. If you want a meaningful response, you need to post facts and not vague, meaningless phrases.
