We sold a house 4 months ago that has a septic sys. Now the sys has failed and the owner wants us to pay for repairs. The plumbing contractor wants us to send him a ck to start repairs. No septic inspection was filed before the sale. How do we handle this?
Answer
Your obligation to pay for this repair depends in large measure on how you filled out the Seller's Disclosure Statement questions as to the septic system. There are blanks for the septic system in the very first section; question 5 of the second section also relates to the septic system. You should look at that form first before you respond. You should also review the Purchase Agreement to see if anything was stated about the septic system. Better yet, you should review these matters with an attorney before you respond.
