Septic inspection failure prompts a seller’s $60K increase during a New Hampshire home purchase. Should insufficient septic and occupancy disclosures raise legal issues?
Interesting case! It makes me wonder if the seller’s hefty price increase is a workaround for their disclosure issues. What do you think could be the legal implications? Has anyone seen similar tactics used in home sales under these conditions?
The seller’s price increase to adjust for the septic issues certainly raises some concerns. In my experience, when disclosures appear incomplete or if key system inspections fail, it’s usually a sign that more extensive repairs might be necessary. Such adjustments in price can often be a legally gray area, especially if the deficiencies were not fully disclosed before the offer. From what I’ve observed, it is prudent for buyers to have a detailed review done and seek professional legal advice. This can help determine if their rights were potentially compromised during the disclosure process.
