Yes. I did a Seller's disclosure and said there were no known issues with mold. I have not lived in the house for eight years and I have never done any major renovations or repairs to the house. I had not idea that there was mold present. I have never had the house tested for mold nor had anyone say there could be mold in the house.
Hey Lisa, thanks for sharing those details. In Georgia, sellers are required to disclose known defects, but since you were unaware of the mold, you may have a defense. Did the buyer conduct a general home inspection before closing?
Yes. they did an inspection.
Lisa, since the buyer conducted a general home inspection, and you disclosed that you had no knowledge of mold, you may have a strong defense. The buyer had opportunities to inspect the property for mold and chose not to.
Key Points:
- Georgia law requires disclosure of known defects.
- You disclosed no known mold issues.
- Buyer conducted a general inspection but did not opt for mold inspection.
Would you like to be connected to local lawyers who can better assist you with your case?
no thank you. i can find an attorney. i just wasn't sure what the law was in georgia. the buyer was in the house multiple times before closing and never brought up any concerns.
