No liability at all.
I think they share the responsibility with the seller according to Title X
You are essentially shifting the legal burden of the sellers to disclose; on to the buyers to know IF the sellers fully disclosed prior to investing hundreds to potentially thousands on...
I am unable to post to the original thread I started. I wanted to update the situation, especially the information I contributed that was incorrect.
Previously I had posted that the current owners had owned the house since 1983, and had lived on the block since the 60's. That is not correct, I...
Comprehension is completely relevant.
The quote is what we added to the notice of termination. Which documents the discrepancy between what the inspector said versus what is actually in the written report.
While at the same time bringing it directly to the attention of the sellers and their...
Quick response. And I positively did just that.
"though not reflected in his report, the inspector told us in person the home was built in the 1960's, likely by his co-workers family. Not in 1987 like the listing says."
I only get 5 posts a day apparently.
This is turning out to be a quite interesting situation. We now have the written copy of the home inspection. It also has the home aged as 1987. Though it thoroughly describes 2 prong and non-grounded outlets throughout the house, as well as the original...

Thanks for the unprovoked insults Super Moderator. The only thing...

I did not do a thing wrong. I made a cash offer on a house from across the country in an effort to move my wife close to her 90 year old parents.
The offer was accepted. The contract signed via docu sign. I flew here to attend the home...
I said: In reviewing the contract the sellers certify that lead paint disclosure is "N/A" presumably because the house was supposedly built after 1978.
Someone responded with: Never believe anything you see in the listing or anything any sellers or realtors "tell" you without verifying it.
Did...
From the original post: "In reviewing the contract the sellers certify that lead paint disclosure is "N/A" presumably because the house was supposedly built after 1978."
Are you saying the requirements of the Residential Lead-Based Paint Hazard Reduction Act of 1992 are often ignored or cirumvented in Real Estate transactions?
They are obligated to disclose if the structure was built before 1978.
We recently had our offer on a home accepted and a contract signed. According to the MLS listing the home was built in 1987. We were specifically looking for a house constructed post 1978 for specific reasons related to lead paint.
At the home inspection earlier today, which cost us $625, we...
