Resolved Question: Question about mold, codes and poor home inspection - long question?
My husband and I purchased a foreclosure in Virginia. We had an ASHI certified inspector come in pre-sale to determine if there were any major issues. Most of what the inspector found was stuff we already had figured out. In any event, I found out yesterday that my basement has mold and it could be toxigenic mold. We have only lived in the house 7 weeks. The source of the mold is a basement bathroom shower that the inspector said was “dirty”. Moisture seeped from that shower into 2 surrounding walls. On the advice of the plumber who came in, we have not used the bathroom or cleaned it since moving in because the plumber suspected mold and advised against doing anything to it until it was confirmed. Plus, the bathroom was not up to code. This was a week after closing. According to the person who came in to test for the mold, it had been building up there a long time (i.e., months, if not years) and an inspector should have told me it was a) still damp and b) should have recommended a mold inspection to be on the safe side. Actually, what he said was our inspector was an idiot and should have known it was mold. In addition, after we purchased the home and were having the recommended repairs done, I had a plumber and an electrician confirm that there were at least 3 rooms in the house that were not up to code and potentially hazardous and pointed out things the inspector should have caught. What is the point of the home inspector if they can’t tell you these things? Do I have any recourse? Anyone ever had this problem before? We have already spent $15,000 just to fix what we already knew about. We are now faced with 2 bathroom remodels, a partial kitchen remodel (the mold spread) and partial basement reconstruction. Any suggestions or advice would be appreciated. If I have legal recourse, recommendations on that would be appreciated as well. Thank you!
My issues are primarily with the home inspector. The bank sold the house “as is” which we were okay with because we were hiring a home inspector to determine what issues the home had. Based on the report, we made the decision to purchase the home because nothing major was found. Had we known about the rooms not being to code, safety issues and mold/health issues, we would never have gone ahead with the sale. It’s the inspector I’ve got the issues with. Thanks so much for all your input!

Resolved Question: Can I stop payment on a return of earnest money if I found out after the fact that I shouldn’t have paid it?
I had a GA real estate contract stipulating that a home inspection report was due to me a minimum of 14 days prior to closing. Their home inspector came to my house 3 times and refused to do the inspection because there was too much stuff in the house. The last inspection date was on the 14th day prior to scheduled closing. I am still living in the house and there were some moving boxes in the house that were on top of beds and tables that did not interfere with access to electrical outlets or other structural or mechanical systems. Does their failure to inspect entitle me to keep the earnest money? I am not even sure the guy was a real home inspector. Should he have give me a business card with his name? I only got a copy of the ASHI Standards and Ethics brochure in a folder with the inspection company name….nothing specific to my house. I wrote them a check after being threatened with a lien, but now I want to stop payment. Is that legal?
