What is the name of your state? Oregon
I sold my house last month. The buyer had a home inspection and requested that I repair seveal items. I used licensed contractors for all the work that was done, and I provided the buyers with receipts. They had a second inspection done to verify the work, but that inspection occured AFTER we signed papers and closed on the house.
The inspector was not happy with one repair, and the owners are not happy with some other work that was done. They are now asking me to make the repairs to their satisfaction. I referred them back to the contractors I used, as all the work was done based on the buyer's inspection report.
What liability do I have to satisfy the new owners? Since I hired the contractors, do I have some responsibility to ensure that the work was done correctly? One item in question was some roof flashing. If it leaks, am I liable for any future damage?
Thanks,
David
