Bad Home Inspection Recourse? (100k in repairs)

[Jeffrey Bradbury]

Hello All,

I picked up a property about a year and a half ago. I had a home inspection that missed some big structural issues. Repairs estimates are between 60k-100k. I’ve reached out to his liability insurance very early on and they ran me in circles for over a year and now they have just stopped responding. The last message they sent me was one claiming that they were going to send out someone to look at things, but that was a few months ago.

I’m struggling to find anyone in the Southborough, MA area who is willing to even look at the case. The few that I’ve spoken with tell me that it’s unlikely that they could win this type of suit – this is without even looking at anything. If this was a few grand I wouldn’t bother, but this is a lot of money for me.

Have you ever had to go after a home inspector? Any advice at all? Do you have an attorney you have used or could recommend?

Thanks In advance!
