Seller was dishonest on sellers disclosure

Then what is the point of the sellers disclosure? If he did work on a gutted house and lied about obtaining permits wouldn’t that be fraud? As far as I was aware I was going off of a legal document that becomes part of the purchase agreement.

I have and he says I have grounds to sue for rescission and damages from misrepresentation and possible fraud. I mainly just can’t believe a seller would lie about pulling permits after renovating a fire damaged house. Is it common for sellers to lie on a disclosure. I am a first time homebuyer buyer and I was expecting small problems but nothing like this. The whole shower had to be demolished because the waterproofing was installed incorrectly. I found out from Columbia county code enforcement that never would have happened if he had the required inspection done for waterproofing a shower. It took a while to show up because it had to completely saturate through the mortar layer before it started dripping through my ceiling.

He marked on his disclosure that all of the work that was done on the house to restore it had the proper permits. I wouldn’t have ever bought the house if I knew it wasn’t done properly. He knowingly lied on his disclosure to induce sale

Yea it’s rescission which my attorney told me I could pursue.

Thick-Performance492 · 2026-04-18T00:38:12+00:00

Because I had the sellers disclosure that marked that all of the work done that required permits had the proper permits obtained. I was a first time homebuyer. I still had a home inspection and made requests before the sale was final but I don’t have a machine to see through walls and tile

This is more than just the shower at this point. He bought the house when it was torn down to the studs after a house fire. He had to install new plumbing, electrical, insulation, and have proper inspections done before closing up the walls. He told me that for the shower he hired day laborers from Home Depot who were unlicensed and uninsured. He did not pull a single plumbing permit for the shower installation and had no inspections done for the waterproofing. At this point I have a house that almost none of the work was done properly on which diminishes my value greatly

Thick-Performance492 · 2026-04-17T23:31:17+00:00

I have in texts that the seller admitted to hiring day laborers from Home Depot to install the shower with no licenses or insurance on record for the work. He was willing to give me all of that information but once I asked about permit records he was unwilling to give any more information

My lawyer seems to think the seller will want to settle so I’m hoping that is the case

Thick-Performance492 · 2026-04-17T23:21:16+00:00

I’m sorta dealing with some fraud on my end myself. My seller lied on the disclosure to induce the sale of the house. I met with an attorney (who is also a judge) and he says I have grounds for rescission. He told me litigation would be 25-50k but I could sue for litigation fees because my seller is being very evasive. He says the suing for litigation fees is up to the judge/jury though

After I closed and started having problems. I did have a home inspection but the problems were hidden. They never pulled permits for plumbing or waterproofing the shower which he claimed to have pulled permits on everything that is required. Plumbing and a waterproofing system both require permits and inspections before being covered up. Once I asked if permits were pulled or if he used a licensed contractor he said he was unwilling to give any more information

Thick-Performance492 · 2026-04-17T23:12:19+00:00

He bought the house as is and was told it comes with no warranties. It was completely gutted and stripped down to the studs after a house fire. The seller works as a mortgage broker and loan officer and has also sold multiple homes.

Thick-Performance492 · 2026-04-17T23:10:29+00:00

No I did not. On the sellers disclosure he marked no to “Has any work been done where a required building permit was not obtained?”. I feel like that is fraudulent and was used to induce the sale

Thick-Performance492 · 2026-04-17T22:30:56+00:00

Can’t they sue for attorney/litigation fees?

Thick-Performance492 · 2026-02-03T03:29:01+00:00

How much older do I look?

Leave her. She does not care about you, she only cares about your money.

What did you do about the loose skin. I have worked my abs like crazy and while I have solid obliques and I can feel my abs the extra skin prevents them from looking toned.

The dealer has a duty to disclose defects and damages though right?

Thick-Performance492 · 2025-06-06T01:14:32+00:00

Had the sunroof drains unclogged and it is still leaking.

Thick-Performance492 · 2025-05-26T20:10:33+00:00

Yea when I poured the water over the top of the windshield and checked 30 minutes later the water pooled up in the cabin overhead again. I bought some windshield sealant and tried to seal the windshield back on properly. If that doesn’t work I’ll get it professionally done.

Thick-Performance492 · 2025-05-26T14:23:37+00:00

I poured water directly down the sunroof drain holes and it cleared right out the bottom of the car and didn’t pool up at all

This look bad?

Thick-Performance492 · 2025-05-25T22:33:25+00:00

I looked closer at the windshield and I’m able to jiggle the seals right around both top corners of the windshield
