Undisclosed Hvac Defect Case

Summary

In Delaware, sellers must disclose known material defects. If HVAC issues were undisclosed, you may have a legal case. Written proof from the seller strengthens your position. Consider reviewing the sellers disclosure document, consulting a home inspector, and discussing legal remedies with a real estate attorney. Even without written proof, other evidence like witness testimony or expert evaluations can support your case.

I have an issue with a house I just closed on
Hi ****! What kind of issue are you experiencing with the house? Is it related to the property's condition, the closing process, or something else? This will help me provide more specific information.
I bought the house and was moving furntiure in 2 days later, I noticed that it was hot upstairs. I put on the ac and it was not working upstairs. I texted the sellers agent and they said "The airflow is bad upstairs and we had to put a cardboard flap on the return duct to make it run better" I did not know about this during the buying process as it was not disclosed
Hey ****, it sounds like you might have a disclosure issue. In Pennsylvania, sellers are required to disclose known material defects. You might want to consider these steps:
- Review your seller's disclosure document for any mention of HVAC issues.
- Contact a home inspector or HVAC specialist for a detailed evaluation.
- Discuss potential legal remedies with a real estate attorney.
Did you receive a disclosure report before purchasing the house?
yes and it was not disclosed
