What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? VA
We paid $400+ for our home inspection. It was performed while we were still living out of state but both our realtor and a friend of ours accompanied the inspector. The day that he went the owner did not have the water running and there were many issues with the electrical. The owner assured our representatives that these issues would be fixed and so there was little more than a note in the actual report. When we took ownership of the property we found a number of glaring issues that, if they had appeared in the inspector's report, we would not have purchased the home. While we have been able to use the home warranty for certain issues there are others (an improperly installed shower) that are not covered and will cost us several hundred dollars. What recourse do we have? Thank you!
