“What if I buy a home and find a problem after I move in? Does the seller have to fix the problem?”
***ANSWER:
Unless you have proof that the seller knew about the problem and didnt disclose it, its your home and your problem.
Thats why most people get home inspections and home warranties and read the sellers disclosures.
Your home inspector points out issues that you may ask the seller to repair or decide to take care of yourself after you own the home. Remember, home inspectors arent perfect and they do miss some things. Home inspectors MAY have some liability if they do a poor job and miss obvious defects.
Home warranties, also called home protections plans, cover certain things that can go awry with the homes systems (plumbing, heating, electrical) during the first year. The plans can also cover appliances, roof, pool, spa, etc.
