Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Virginia

Gas log fireplace

Bought a house and the gas log fireplace has a hole in the gas line. Contaced both the selling agent and my agent. The selling agent said he was not going to pay...who is responsible?

Thank You

Without more facts, it's difficult to say. In Virginia the seller of real estate is not legally obligated to disclose material defects to

the buyer---unless he or she is specifically asked about a particular item or items. Only then are they required to answer truthfully (to the best of their knowledge) regarding the items in question in order to avoid a charge of fraud.
