Septic tank fails

[sdrealtor]

scaredy
In order to release that contingency you have to sign a form releasing it. You would know if you did that. Unless your agent slipped it in and had you sign it without explaining it (very highly unlikely but possible) you still have the contingency escape clause.

As for the agent, my expereince selling properties up your way is that the agents are awful. You have a right to be irritated but the next one is likely just the same. My guess is it is likely inexperience on the whole or in selling properties on septic.

[quote=sdrealtor]FYI, its a short sale and the seller is not the bank. The seller has the duty to disclose. If it turned into a foreclosure the bank would be exempt.

If you havent signed off on your inspection contingency you could get the deposit back.[/quote]

scaredy, I apologize for not remembering the details of your latest “purchase description” thread from last week. (I even responded to it, lol!) I’ve been kinda swamped lately and flying by the seat of my pants . . .

[quote-bearishgurl]. . . -If you will set up a permanent gazebo and/or stage for your wedding business, do NOT do so over any former or present leechfield, esp. if it is lower lying than the rest of the lot . . . view be damned! . . . [/quote]

If your lender selling short will NOT offer you or any other buyer ANY remediation at all for the septic/leachfield problem as per your professional’s report (or lower the price accordingly), then they will surely end up with the property and have to “remediate” all by themselves, IMO.

Which begs the following questions. Is the property still occupied by the sellers wanting to sell short, and, if so, did THEY disclose this problem to you in a TDS? If they DID NOT, then this is actionable, IMO. Moreover, how are THEY able to (successfully…lol) flush their toilets?? Did you try to walk through the property and flush the toilets, run water down the drains or run the garbage disposer or is the water turned off??? If the water is turned off, this is usually a HUGE RED FLAG!

If I were you, I’d want to know everything that this “remediation” entailed (or if it was not feasible) ASAP.

Home warranties would not typically cover this problem. Your agent sounds inexperienced and also like they are striving to make a commission at any cost. These kinds of agents are a dime a dozen.

Just my .02.

[quote=walterwhite]Thanks. Good idea. But I counted a lot of times and we sure seem to be wthin the inspection contingency. How irritated do I have a right to be at the realtor who didn’t push me to have a septic inspection. I recall bring the one who brought it up and him asking if I wanted one, also talk of home warranties and “not worrying about everything”. I don’t think this is covered by a warranty although I only cursorily read it.

Is it going to be possible to be 110 percent certain the job can be done ????[/quote]

You have a right to be irritated, but let’s face it. It happens all the time…And not just with RE purchases. Unrelated, I was spending $350/hr+ with an attorney over some litigation, drafting settlements,etc…And every single time, I had to send the drafts back because either my name was misspelled, the other party’s name was misspelled, or some obvious omissions and simple grammatical errors. It wasn’t the attorney’s fault that the paralegal was a complete idiot. But still, I was like “why am I paying $YYY/hr AMD still spending my time proofreading and correcting stupid errors that shouldn’t happen in the first place AND then paying extra for the attorney/paralegal to correct those errors???”

More of the story: rarely would someone else look after your interest if you don’t take care of it yourself.

That was my first question, though I posed it half assed as “be careful where you walk”…Obviously, it’s not a laughing matter. Sorry scardey, I didn’t mean to give you shit about your current predicament…
