Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Massachusetts
Failure of sellers to disclose water
One year ago we purchased a split-level house FSBO. Due to the very nature of a split level house, part of the living space is below ground, we were very specific about knowing if there was any history of water damage. According to the sellers, there was no history of water in the basement. Having owned the house for 1 year, we've had water and flooding on four occasions and thousands of dollars in damages. Today I spoke to a neighbor, and he mentioned that the owner of our house before the seller of our house, had water problems, and in fact used to borrow his water pump to pump out the water. We feel like we asked the correct questions but were flat out lied to, and we are now paying the price. What are our options?

Re: Failure of sellers to disclose water
As long as you can prove you asked the sellers if that ever had water damage and they misrepresented the facts, you can file a consumer protection action against them for misrepresentation. Retatin an attorney to do so!
