Looking for advice - bought a property and roof leaks
Hey friends,
I recently purchased a property off market and worked directly with the seller to learn about the property and negotiate the deal. They gave a property disclosure statement and stated there were no known roof leaks but in the past there were some and it was remedied with liquid rubber. Lo and behold after I closed on the property, the tenants let me know there is evidence of a leak still existing and it's getting worse as time goes on. I did have a property inspection but the inspector was unable to get on the roof to inspect. Do I have any recourse with the seller to get any money back or have them contribute to replacing the roof??
