HOA repair didn't sign off on mold, lost buyer
trying to sell my condo. The buyers home inspection found there was a leak and some water intrusion and that some drywall needed to be replaced. The buyer requested the job include some detailed pictures of behind the wall as evidence there was no mold present. They took a picture that didn't show anything, and apparently the removed insulation, which my realtor said could indicate there was some mold. Lost buyer.
I contacted my HOA requesting they redo the job, and take pictures / determine if there was a mold problem. They referred me to a lawyer who has yet to return any calls.
I am only interested in getting the job done correctly, but after thinking about the extra time I will spend, the buyer that I lost, and the extra monthly HOA payments I'll be making, it seems their inaction and not doing what was asked correctly, is now costing me money. They certainly caused me to lose money, my buyer, and time, but are the liable for this loss legally? I thought i'd post here before I go researching real estate law.
the condo is in Florida.
