Any recourse after buying home that has hidden issues ?

[Brian Frazier]

We recently bought a home that has foundation issues, the seller is a builder/ contractor and used paint to hide issues. After basement flooding, we had to get waterproofed. Lots of other issues now coming up after living here a month. Home inspector didn't find any issues before we purchased. Wonder if there is any recourse or way to go after the seller and get some money back. Any advice is helpful, thank you.

@Antoine Martel,

The burden to prove they knew about issues and did not disclose, is on you now. It is not just was there a problem, it is was there a problem and did they know about it. One of their best defenses is going to be "They sent in a home inspector and they didn't see it. They are a professional at this how was I supposed to know". For the most part it is buyer beware which is why you need to do your due diligence.

Good luck and I hope it works out for you
