Failure to disclose lead based paint (Texas)
The seller signed the resale contract 10/30/2017 and I deposited the earnest money 10/30/2017 so everything is currently in motion. The issue I have is that the broker has sent a lead-based paint hazard document (10/31/2017) for me to sign, and I also discovered on my own that the property will be taxed in two separate counties as opposed to the one county the agent-provided information on which made the property attractive in the first place. With this newly discovered information, the numbers no longer work and I would like to walk away from the deal altogether.
Before seeking legal advice from an attorney I wanted to reach out on BP and see what y'all thoughts were.
