Got an interesting one here. Let me give you a time line:
2001: House on block hit by 80 foot tall Oak tree. The tree broke the main beam of the house/roof and it was condemed until fixed. A lot of damage.
2004: House sold to new neighbors. Damage disclosed.
2009: Neighbors selling house, yet are NOT including damage from 2001 on disclosure statement.
To me this is entirely unethical. Is it also illegal? Their slimey realtor is saying you don't have to disclose things from previous owners. I don't buy it.
I am looking at a new neighbor who will move in and then find out from neighbors that their house was smashed by a tree. Whether the repairs were well done or not (mostly not), how would you like that to be you? I think this is awful. Though I want the house sold, I think it should be on the up and up.
