When the family moved in, they quickly discovered major issues in the house.
An Ontario couple says they discovered a “disaster” soon after moving into their new house, which they bought without a home inspection: Mushrooms growing in the kitchen, shingle debris raining off the roof and a toilet sinking into rotting foundation.., last August for just over $500,000 with no conditions.and she said they had already looked at about 20 other houses. This was the third they put an offer on.
It was just what Darrach, 28, and her husband, 30, needed for their growing family of three with a baby on the way.They knew it would “need some love,” since Darrach said it was built around 1987, but they didn’t anticipate the “construction zone” they would live in for over a year and counting. Darrach said she has no idea how long it's going to take to fix the entire house or how much it is going to cost them.Leigh Gate, president of the, said over the past year and a half, the strong competition among buyers in the real estate market has compelled many to take the same route as this Ontario couple.
