You could take the seller to court, but you'd probably have to prove that they knew about the issue and intentionally covered it up, and it would be an uphill battle IMO because un-level floors are a patent defect (easily found problem) as opposed to a latent defect (one that can't be seen easily just by walking around or inspecting the property).
