Re: disclosure deceit

Dear Deceived Purchaser: Your brief description of the seller's deception warrants your action (lawsuit) to recover (1) the reasonable value of correcting their deception; i.e., a new roof and (2) removal of buried debris. (Shingles do not deteriorate or support vegetation at all!

Consult an experienced real estate litigation attorney ASAP.

Good luck.

Sincerely,

J. Norman Stark, Cleveland, Ohio.
