Post: Nondisclosure by seller & negligent inspector?

Posted by Nathan on 7/09/08

I purchased a townhome in December of 2006 from an elderly
couple in northwest Florida. The property was inspected by
an inspector through my real estate agent. The inspection
reported no significant defects to the property. Many
months later my neighbor informs me of a settlement issue
affecting my our row of townhomes. According to my
neighbor, this problem has been known for several years. He
then pointed out the visible signs of the settlement along
his property and mine. He said that he was aware of the
issue when he purchased his home several years ago. The
cost of re-setting the foundation will likely be between
$17-25,000. Would I be able to sue the sellers, inspector,
both?
