I HAD AN INSPECTION DONE WHEN I PURCHASED MY HOUSE BUT AFTER MOVING IN I DISCOVERED A PROBLEM. CAN I MAKE A CLAIM AGAINST THE FORMER OWNER, THE INSPECTOR OR THE REAL ESTATE AGENT?
Whether you can make a claim and against whom will depend on the nature of the problem, the terms of your purchase agreement, the house inspection report, other documentation and verbal representations made to you. If any of the parties knew or should have know about a defect in the property and failed to disclose the information to you, you may have a claim against them. Because your time to bring an action is limited, you should contact a lawyer to determine the appropriate action to be taken.
