Being deceived about something after buying the house.

[Jack Smith]

Hello,

I bought the house almost a year ago thinking it's city sewers according to my real estate agent and lawyer and everyone involved. The house listing had it listed as city sewer and it is still posted as that. Then I recently found out that it is septic. Can I sue anyone involved here or take any action?

Yeah septic may not be the worst thing after all but being deceived about it doesn't feel good at all.

Please advise.

Thanks

What are your damages? (You may not have been deceived...there are a whole lot of stupid people wandering around!  They may "assumed" it was on the city's system because they never serviced the septic system). 

And, why is it taking you a year to discover/act on this?  How was this disclosed to you?  Sellers are responsible for what they report on the Seller's Disclosure Statement but considering it's been a year later, it's going to be a claim going nowhere.

My recommendation would be to let it go, enjoy your life in your own home (big deal in itself!) and know that you got this.  Depending on the age of your city's system, you might be better off!
