HUD home with undisclosed cesspool

Bob Adams
Posted

i(owner-occupant) am in the process of losing my emd(earnest money deposit) due to my cancelling the contract on a hud home i won the bid on -- i had everything in place on my end, loan, appraisal, etc., and was waiting on hud to do the arizona state required septic inspection(done by seller, no exceptions, without inspection there can be no transfer) -- so hud was dragging its feet, not doing the inspection, time runs out, and they want $375 for a 2 week extension! -- thats right, we're ready to close, except they're not ready, and they want me to pay for an extension -- about this time i hear from neighbors that the home most definitely has a cesspool, illegal in az since 1976 -- but get this, hud listed this on the mls, and hudhomestore, as having a septic system -- had it said "cesspool", i never would have bid -- even "unknown" would have sent me running -- now i know hud homes are sold "as-is", but this seems like deceptive advertising, no??
