There could have been flood damage in the past, and if you move in, have flood-related problems, and are able to prove that the seller suffered repeated flood damage and failed to disclose this to you, then you might have a case against the seller.<br /><br />However, there is one thing you can do now: Call your insurance agent and see if they can check whether claims have been filed on the property in the past. If an insurance claim has been filed, your agent will probably be able to find it. However, if the sellers did not make an insurance claim, this may not help!<br /><br />NaheedNaheed Amdanihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14795201203580900187noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9198217906327726723.post-68117454407144257502010-09-15T08:10:50.606-05:002010-09-15T08:10:50.606-05:00What about previous flood damage? We are currently looking at place in Portage Park. They said the first time if flooded was this year in June. Well, the took out the carpet and painted the walls. Everything looks perfect. What if this happened before and they are covering it up? How can we find out or make them disclose previous years flood history? <br /><br />Thanks, <br /><br />AndyANDYhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04009260097635054436noreply@blogger.com
