Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Illinois

seller misrepresentation/fraud?
My wife & I purchased our home June 29,2005. The seller disclosed nothing concerning water damage or settlements along the structure. I noticed about 5 weeks after moving in, the rear porch/upstairs bedroom had an inward slope develope. Within a couple of days, we noticed the from center, the floor on main level began to slope significantly. We had a home inspection done on our own, and he stated the foundation was in good condition. Upon calling him back out to inspect the floor and porch, he recommended verbally that we use a telescoping jack and lift porch up a bit and reset the post. We cut floor in porch in that corner, then noticed that the frame for floor was pulling away from porch foundation. Previous owners had remplaced flooring and joists to porch. Do I have a case?

Re: seller misrepresentation/fraud?

I would need to see your contract to see if the problems were listed. If not, then you have a great case. Please call for an appointment.
