You people don't really how silly you sound. If you bought a $1500 iphone and it stopped working on day one, would you say, oh well "it's my iphone now" so I have no recourse? Truly astounding idiocy.

Did you inspect the phone before buying it? And did you buy it without a warranty?

It sounds like you've never bought anything second-hand before.

Regardless of whether you want to acknowledge it, there is a potential lawsuit here depending on what the OP discovers. The fact that there were certain disclosures, and the house is used, does not mean that the seller is off the hook. As a seller, be honest and you'll be fine. But if not, just know that a lawsuit may be coming your way after the sale. It's not complicated.

People can sue just because the sky is blue. Whether the seller is honest or not really doesn't matter. The buyer has an uphill climb to prove the seller did something wrong. I wouldn't budge if I was the seller. This buyer sounds inexperienced. Why aren't they going after their home inspector?

BTW, I'm not some evil seller who hid things. I have bought a home where the seller hid roof leak damage.

This why these disclosure forms are frankly useless. I wish people just ignore anything the seller says. It's critical for prospective buyer to have separate inspections for electric, foundation, and plumbing.

I know someone who supposedly bought a house and few days later ended up finding a $250k foundation damage. He tried to sue the seller but was not successful.

Hey, moron, OP said they had the place inspected and "confirmed the fixes." They DID "ignore" the seller. So what the hell are you talking about?

It isn't clear they had an independent inspector. People often just let their agent set that up, who obviously doesn't want to do anything to kill the sale.

This is bullshit.

Not bs. I'm not the pp but had the agent who worked my very first home purchase do this exact thing. I overheard her say this to the home inspector. She'd already been sanctioned once by the state. I found this out afterwards. I called her out and she paid for the home inspection.

Same experience. It might not be the norm, not sure, but it is a thing.
