[quote=Anonymous]What did the home inspector attribute the musty smell too? Surely he would have had some concern as no air freshener can fully mask the musty odor.

Did you notice the water damage in the basement during the final walkthrough?

Something similar happened to us - the selling agent put the house flyers on the kitchen counter. We never thought about moving them until final walkthrough I pciked them up to toss and the formica counter tips was damaged.
Sneaky of Jane fairweather to cover that up. We got a credit for repair at the closing table.

I would first call your agent. If you have evidnece that carpets were cleaned recently, then you might have a case that the owners were aware of the problem. It wouldn't hurt to run it by an attorney if the damage is expensive to repair.At the least, I would send a note to the seller and tell them you discovered this issue that was covered up with the desk and that you expect them to cover half of the cost of repair or else you will take them to small claims court, They might feel guilty and pay up.[/quote]
