What is the name of your state? Georgia
I'm wondering what the seller's legal responsibility is when it comes to full disclosure on the seller's disclosure form. When I purchased my condo, it was not disclosed on this form, or anywhere else, that there were major repairs needed on the attached parking garage. Since moving in and attending hoa meetings I've learned that in the next 5-6 months we are going to have to pretty much rebuild the entire structure which is going to result in a substantial one-time assessment to cover the costs. My realtor and I also asked the seller and his realtor in person if there were any major issues that we needed to be aware of - both said no. After speaking to the president of the HOA, he said that there is no way that anyone living here for more than 1 year would not be aware of the issue due to it being such a major, and long-standing issue. So my question is: Do I have any legal grounds to go back to the seller since this was a very well known pre-existing condition and was not disclosed on the seller's disclosure form?
Thanks in advance for your response,
Bill
