Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Virginia

I just brought a house 32 days ago and have found mold, water damage, roofing, plumbing and electrical problems. I've spent $7000 in new appliances and different materials to either fix or update the house. Is there any laws that makes the seller or a bank liable to fix these issues? Most of the house isn't even up to state code.

Yes, if these various conditions/deficits which you/ve mentioned constitute

one or more violations of the various warranty or other related

provisions of your purchase agreeement by the seller, be it either an

individual or entity.

You may wish to engage the services of an attorney who handles

real estate matters to review this agreement along with the relevant

facts concerning its execution and who then should be able to advise

you as to your options.
