disclosure statment

[tjs2032]

What is the name of your state? NC
We purchased a home in NC. The we have been in the home for less than one year. Shortly after we moved in we noticed a severe amount of water in the yard as well as the front walkway. After checking with several neighbors it seems that there has been a drainage problem on this lot and the seller did not disclose this to us. What are the law govering misrepresentation of the disclosure laws in NC

At the end of your Offer to Purchase contract should be the words that "closing constitutes acceptance".

It's hard to know what is meant by 'a lot of water'. A drainage problem can be old or new, depending on what else is going on in your neighborhood. Type of soil, location (rural or urban), where does storm water runoff go to, do the drains need to be cleaned out (local gov't responsibility) whether or not your home is built on a slab or crawl space can all impact the problem you define.

And, we don't know how long the Seller owned the property and can reasonably argue that s/he was unaware.
