ork, plumbing was a mess. He didnot have it inspected before he bought it. But aren’t the seller obligated to disclose any thing like this? Also he was not informed that the house had not been lived in for six years.

Entered lease-option agreement giving down payment of 3x the rent in August 2007. The home did not pass inspection until mid February 2008 due to owner not making necessary repairs and technically was un-inhabitable but I made on time monthly payments. In March I noticed a large crack in the basement wall that was painted over and water leaked into the basement with each rain. I immediately notified the owner via email and he promised to have a professional waterproofing company come to make repairs yet he never called back. After a week of heavy rains in May, the entire basement flooded. I notified the owner again he sent a carpenter out to home to install a sump pump. The carpenter dug a hole in the basement 3x times the size needeed to install the sump pump, left and never came back to finish the repairs. For almost a month now, the hole has been in the basement and the owner wont fix correctly. Estimated repair costs $5000+. I don’t want to purchase home can I get deposit back?

i bought a house 3 years ago through fha & had several inspections done. however we now need a new septic system, new electrical panel & some wiring, some roofwork, ceiling work (because of a minor leak after repairs) & foundation work. i cant imagine a house that was given flying colors 3 years ago is now in such a state of chaos.
