At the closing, a written reservation should have been made to provide for any possible deficiencies that could not be determined at the time because of the cold weather. An escrow could have been held for contingencies such as the broken sprinklers system. If this was not done, you may have very few options other than relying on the sellers‘ good faith response to your request for repairs.

* If the answers to your question confirm that you have a valid issue or worthwhile claim, your next step should almost always be to establish a dialog with a lawyer who can provide specific advice to you. Contact a lawyer in your county or township.

* Another reason for contacting a lawyer is that it is often impossible to give a good answer in the Internet Q&A format without having more information. The unique circumstances of your situation and things that you may not have thought to mention in your question may completely change the answer. If you want to be sure that you have a complete answer to your question and an understanding of what that answer means, establish a connection with a lawyer who practices in the area of your concern.
