Connecticut Real Estate Non-disclosure Issues Lawyers

Bridgeport · West Haven · Hartford · Waterbury · Milford · New Haven

In Connecticut, sellers are required to disclose any construction or maintenance issues which may affect the overall value and usability of the property in question. These issues are supposed to be listed on what is called a property condition disclosure form.

Unfortunately, sellers sometimes fail to do their legal duty. Misrepresentation or nondisclosure of issues such as basement flooding, a leaky roof, drainage issues or septic system problems can lead to enormous additional expense for the unprepared buyer and may also be the basis of a lawsuit.

If you relied on a misrepresentation in purchasing your home or other property, you may be able to receive compensation for the cost of repairs and for legal fees. The courts can also award significant punitive damages if a fraudulent misrepresentation case is thoroughly prepared and effectively presented. That is why hiring the experienced attorneys at Nugent & Bryant can be such a wise investment.
