I am terminating my contract post inspection. A dishonest disclosure along with water damage is sending me running. It really pays to go along with the inspector and have a contractor friend.
Water damage was from a leaking shower pan. I credit an honest neighbor whom I spoke with. My luck she just happened to give me the low down as she rented the place for a year before buying the house next door. So go on your home inspections and knock on doors and talk to people. This saved me a great deal of headache and money. Even though home inspector found water damage his solution of merely sealing the tiles is just stupid. After I get settled I might takes this seller to court for my home inspection fee and make him pay it. His dishonesty which I can prove in court she be interesting. As he should of disclosed the water leak since he called a repair man to fix it.

You could go to court but you probably won't win and likely not worth the few hundred bucks you stand to gain. You won't be able to establish the seller willfully withheld knowledge of major damage, especially since your inspector noted the fix was as easy as sealing the tiles. Consider yourself lucky for discovering it and move on.
You don't get it do you. The money means nothing. Its the lack of proper disclosure that lead to the offer and inspection. I am having my realtor petition this guy for the money. If he doesn't pay up I will sue him in small claims. Some unsuspecting buyer will get burned here because of his dishonesty. You know what happens if someone buys this and moves in. the leak will eventually rot the floor and it will fall through. I believe in fighting for things that are right not cowering down.
Furthermore the Inspector is not a qualified plumber who can offer any type of remedy. The only thing he can do is find things and refer it to the proper specialized personnel. I have consulted a master plumber as well as a master tile installer and both agreed as to the pictures showing the swelling of the wood that the integrity of the shower pan has been compromised. Also on the disclosure which he signed and dated he purposefully mislead on other items that have been proven false.
I get it. You're going to waste yours and others time and money in court, lose, and accomplish nothing. This idealistic battle you think you're fighting won't matter.
Holy cow you're freaking nuts. Like, certifiable. Have you even ever purchased a house before? You sound like a total newb.
This is the type of mentality that is prominent in California, that I am trying to get away from, and I assume everyone else is trying to get away from. In other words, we're trying to get away from people like you.
Browsing through this forum time and time again you see people say "I'm not trying to bring California with me" or "I'm not going to change Idaho." Well guess what buddy... you're doing EXACTLY THAT.
Can I ask who selected the inspector? Generally its the buyer.
