misrepresentation of floors in home


What is the name of your state? Pennsylvania

Keeping you posted. Our realtor told us to first contact the realtor who listed the home along with the real estate office and sellers. We wrote to them and told them of the problem and received no response at all. The fire, which I have come to find out, happened BEFORE the sellers purchased the home. In fact that is why the house was sold to our sellers(the owner died in the fire). The house was subsequently fixed up and sold to the people from whom we purchased the home. I am absolutely sure the sellers (our sellers) knew about the fire (neighbors have told me such). The sellers also said there was new carpeting in the home which leads me to believe they had to have seen the floors if they indeed put in the new carpeting. I would like to go through with a law suit if I knew it would have a good chance of proceeding in court. We have also found out that two rooms do have wood flooring under the carpet but the flooring is warped and would not be able to matched up to any wood flooring we lay to replace the connecting plywood floors. We have gotten estimates for the flooring and have been told as much.
