disclosure

[sam127]

What is the name of your state? CT.
my question is what is the statute of limatation on home disclosure fraud.
I bought my house about 5 years ago right afterwards i noticed a problem with the hotwater which came directly off the oil furnace which is about 20 years old the house was built in 1958. i found service records indicating the previous owner knew about the problem and never fixed it because he was selling the house. He also never mentioned it in the disclosure. i never took care of it then because of other issues. it has been fixed since then. also i had a general home inspection before buying. the inspector never found the problem. for how much can i sue and is the inspector liable also????

**A: then you should have filed a claim right afterwards when you FIRST noticed the problem.

**A: you have a very weak case, so weak that the Seller and home inspector would not be in hot water.
