What is the name of your state? Oregon
I purchased a home in 11/2008 now 10 years later 5/2018 I found work done with out a permit and I checked the disclosure form and the seller checked yes all work done with a permit. The work done was a 28'x28' 2 story shop built, a bathroom, a laundry room, a closet, a 60" pipe was put in the creek for land stability and a retaining wall built in the creek all work was done by seller and done without permits. I went to the permit department and verified all permitted work and there is only one permit for the shop slab but no final. Do I have any recourse? Do I have to hire an attorney? Attorneys charge $200.00 an hour, so if I win I'll get my money back if I lose I'm in debt. This is a VA loan. Will my bank help act on this since they really own the house? I do not know whether or not it matters but I am a totally disabled Veteran.
