Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Massachusetts

Flooding

Hi- I recently purchased a home on 10/31-- The property is a single family home on about 1/2 acre. What I immediatley liked about this property was the large backyard. After moving in, and having a large rainfall-- our entire backyard is completley flooded! We spoke with the neighbors who inform us that this happens almost every time it rains- this was not disclosed in our purchase and sales aggreement? What are our rights?

Re: Flooding

It depends on what you asked.

If there was flooding, a through inspection should have revealed this.

Retain an attorney to review with you all the documents and events leading up to the sale to determine whether there may have been misrepresentation made that might support a cause of action. Good luck!
