What is the name of your state? PA
My partner and I are about to enter Mediation regarding a plumbing issue
( see : https://forum.freeadvice.com/showthread.php?t=373382 )
Basically, the first time we used the bathroom in the new house, the downstairs ceiling started raining - an issue not noted by our inspector and not noted on the seller's disclosure. The seller's disclosure did note that the seller was the one who did the renovation, though now his plumbing contractor (presumably unlicensed and definitely without permit) is MIA.
Our "standard agreement" says that we have the option of bringing a lawyer, but do we really need to shell out all that $$?
Can someone give us a rundown of what happens at mediation?
In my opinion, this seems like an open-shut case - and we should get some $$ from the seller.
thanks in advance,
