- Hello All;
- I am in desperate need of advice. I bought a home about 3 years
- ago and shortly after I bought it (6 months) I discovered that
- a fairly large amount of water would come into my basement during
- heavy rain storms. When I asked the owners about if there was any
- water problems with the house (before I bought it) they said NO.
- I have already had several experts down to the house and they all
- agree that the problem existed long before I moved in.
-
- I have recently realized that the problem is far more severe than
- I originally thought and that it will cost over $8000 to repair.
- After sending a letter to the people I bought the house from
- (several years ago), they deny that they knew about the problem
- and (of course) refused to pay.
-
- If I could get them to pay for half the repairs, I'd be happy.
- Does anyone know if I can persue any legal action against the
- people who sold me the house even if it is 3 years after purchase
- and if I don't have in writing that they said the house didn't
- have any wanter problems.
-
- Can anyone suggest any other ideas ??? Thanks so much !!!
