Nazarite27 Posted October 22, 2004 Report Share Posted October 22, 2004 closed on a two-family house June 2004. There were items that the seller was to complete per the home inspection. None of those items were completed. However, my biggest issue at this time is with the heating system, which according to the seller and inspection report is brand new. The problem is that neither of the furnances have a return duct (or shall I say a cold air exchange). The local gas company saw this and tagged both furnances rendering them inoperable. At this point, my entire household has no heat - and thank God I do not have a tenant yet or I would be in even more trouble. On the seller's disclosure sheet, the seller indicated that there were no problems and the inspection report indicated the same, both indicating that the mechanicals were recentely upgraded. The seller left no manuals, etc. and now I am forced to either repair or replace both furnances. Can I go after the seller or inspector? The inspector obviously signed off and approved the mechanicals. As a matter-of-fact, the inspection report clearly states "recent mechanical and interior upgrades" as part of his positive observations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firstsource Posted October 23, 2004 Report Share Posted October 23, 2004 Depending on the laws in the state you live in, you probably have a legal case against the seller. Depending on if the inspector was bonded, you can probably go after him.In Utah, all important parts of the home that have defects have to be listed and signed by both parties. In your case, if the heating system does not work, and was listed as working, you have a case.I would suggest that you investigate (Realtors would know) the laws.Charles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
