Breach of contract for repairs not done on time.
I put an offer on a property, inspector found 10 red items, one being a slant in the kitchen floor and cracked tile. Suspected foundation problems. Seller hired a contractor who didn't dig deep enough to see the floor joists and only used thicker ply wood and replaced floor with laminate. At closing we received a hand written report from the contractor who turned out to be the sellers father who is liscensed in 2 other states and not VA. He also "bandaided" 6 of the other repairs. I signed an addendum that stated the repairs would be done before closing. At closing we didn't close after the discovery and the opinion of the inspector. 2 days later they sent a termite inspectors to get under the home and photograph the floor joists etc. the inspector again said it was faulty and would potentially cause issues in the future. I signed a release of the contract and now the seller is going to sue and contact my command. Any advice moving forward?
