What if you discover a defect in the property you just purchased
If a buyer discovers a defect in the property and the buyer thinks that the seller knew about a defect – such as a basement that floods in heavy rain or the property does not contain a proper retaining wall – and the buyer fails to disclose it, the buyer may be entitled to damages for the seller’s failure to disclose.
Keep in mind, however, that as long as the defect is disclosed there is often no liability for the defect. On the other hand, if the disclosure did not happen until late in escrow, the buyer may have the right to get out of the deal or to collect damages.
