Post sale issues - electrical

[Haider Abdullah]

BP community!

We sold a home in McKinney (Texas) a few months ago. We did not get permits on electrical.

The buyer had their chance to do DD and did not bring any attention to electrical.

The buyer has now come back and stated the electrical work has been done poorly and not to code.

Because we are so far past the transaction date, and that the buyer had a chance to perform DD, are we liable for anything here?

We never stated it was permitted either, it may have been assumed but not clearly stated.

I’m not trying to be an ******* but dishing out $4200 for something that had a chance to address before buying the house is not something I’m trying to do.

Obviously don’t want to out anyones life at risk and want to make it right, but only for what I’m responsible for.

Appreciate the suggestions. Thank you!

Whether or not their inspector picked it up or not is irrelevant. Disclosing unpermitted work is required by law which you did not do.

Note I am not an attorney, but if this was me I would be getting one or repairing the work to be code compliant.
