Re: new home problems
Hello. The law is on your side. Obviously the inspector did not inspect. I assume that a home inspection was required and the seller was obligated to disclose defects. I suggests you file a lawsuit against the original owner. Will be happy to discuss this with you further and in more detail. This is a real problem and you should take care of it as soon as possible.
