Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Iowa

Lying about real estate property

I bought my first house at a real estate auction. This was advertised in the ad as having a 2 year old roof. I was also told this by the seller, a person I knew and trusted. It does not have a new roof, in fact it is quite old. Do I have any recourse or is it ''buyer beware''?
