Any house with a $1.8 million price tag is expected to live up to luxurious expectations.
However, this isnt always the case, as proven by professional home inspector and TikTok user@everyones.junk.drawer.
His recent post unraveled major flaws in what gives the impression of a lovely, newly built home.
Close scrutiny revealed flimsily installed ovens, wiggly staircase railings, and bathroom doors that wont close.
And if you spot them after closing the deal, they become your responsibility.
For example, your hot water heater breaks down three days after you move in.
… Its your hot water heater, I tell them.
This may sound harsh, but spelling this out before closing avoids a lot of headaches later.
Milo mentioned the tedious task of proving that the sellers failure to disclose the problems was intentional.
As he advises,taking legal actionshould be considered carefully.
These can be paid for by the buyer or seller and typically will run for one year.
But if youre intent on lawyering up, you must provide solid proof.
Step one involves holding all parties accountable.
These may include the seller, their agent, and/or a home inspector.
Finally, you must consider the statute of limitations.
Typically, buyers must file the suit within two to ten years from the date of the alleged infraction.
But prevention is always better.
