Question- Home seller lied on contract
Hey! I hope this is the correct format to post on here, but my partner and I are dealing with a mold problem in our house that is becoming more and more ugly. We are reaching out to insurance to see what to do, but my question is about the seller. For context- my fiance purchased this house before I met him and was not an experienced home buyer and was told bad advice by his home inspector and realtor. we just got done with a year of me having cancer and doing treatment. Only saying that to say I would have taken care of this sooner had I known it happened and if I was healthy enough to do it.
In the purchase agreement, the seller agreed to have mold found in the home inspection to be remediated by a licensed mold specialist. I have found an invoice made out to the seller from the seller's llc for this work. Looks like the seller was a flipper - great. I cannot find any information on if this llc was ever even a general contractor, let alone a mold remediation specialist. My hunch is he broke the purchase agreement by not having a specialist do it, and now we are facing the consequences.
Is there any recourse that any of you have had in a similar situation? We are prepared to just eat the cost and move on, but I want to do my due diligence of research. If you think it is worthwhile to get an attorney, that would be very helpful to know.
Anyways, thanks for reading!
