Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Virginia

real estate closing question
I am the seller of a home. During
the closing my neighbor informed my
real estate agent that there was a
water connection problem to one of
the houses on our shared driveway.
At that point noone knew whose
house was involved. The buyers
were notified of this. After the
closing finished it was brought to our
attention that the problem involved
the house being sold. Who is
responsible for the repairs?

Re: real estate closing question

Hard to say, merely on these facts, but if the buyers were notified and objected and made clear that you (the seller) would be responsible in the

event it turned out to involve "the house being sold", then you're likely the one legally responsible for the repairs.
