(wich is going to cost thousands)....i live in new york if that helps i'm not sure of the laws here

Answer 1

I think this is in the wrong category since you need lawyer.

The well should have been checkout prior to the closing, so either it didn't get checked or someone was lying.

Answer 2

Did you have everything inspected. you may want to ask a lawyer and soon before its to late.

Answer 3

In general, New York Real Estate is 'as is' subject to your inspection before closing, but the owner is

obligated to disclose hidden fauts of which he is aware.

Unless there's some proof that they knew of the fault, and didn't disclose it, you're stuck.

If you had an inspection, the inspector might be liable for not finding

this problem.
