What should i ask for in compensation (Real Estate)?

[cole9113]

About 5 months ago we bought a home, we were informed that the property we were purchasing had public sewer. So we intended on staying in the home for a couple years than building. On our closing reports, MLS detail sheet, and property disclosure forms they all state we have PUBLIC sewer. We moved in December when there was snow we had a friend do our home inspection, everything was fine UNTIL it became warm. Our building plans were denied due to we DO NOT HAVE PUBLIC sewer we have a leech bed and septic tank therefor can not build. Do we have legal right to sue. The Real Estate Company wants to meet for Mediation. Were thinking of asking for a Septic inspection, Pump out and $5000 should we be asking for more? Our land is valued at $11,2000 and over 50% is not able to be built on!

Based on what you say here, you could file suit against them (or at least threaten to do so) in small claims court or in regular court; filing in small claims court is easier and requires no attorney...you could try to collect all of the costs and damages that you suffered due to their behavior...

small claims court has a max of $2k in most states, spend the money on an attorney, the seller comitted fraud and you should be entitled to all of your money back plus interest
