This really
depends upon the type of problem you find. If you find that the
seller has walked off with some fixtures, which should have been
included with the house, you might be able to sue to get them back,
but this is a problem that might be better found in a walk through
inspection just before the closing. Any major problem that the
seller should have disclosed before the sale would probably justify
a lawsuit, while a problem like termites, which should have been
discovered in inspection, will likely leave you no recourse but
to solve it yourself. A problem such as noisy neighbors is your
problem; it is best to spend time in the neighborhood before making
an offer or signing the contract. Don't wait until the closing
to see if there will be a problem.
