caveat emptor
she didnt do due diligence. If an owner knows they dont have to tell unless asked. rea;l estate agents have dscloser rules but it is arguable what they knew? She hasnt got a strong case hence the media beat up?
1995 means likely treated timber
it is not rotten it is a house with leaks, her problem is her experts, (and the gravy train) who have made it a 500000 problem It is absurd to contemplate spending 500000 on something with a calue of 25000.

Does the bit in the listing agreement and the S&P where the vendor is supposed to list any defects or problems known to the client not mean anything?
Not quite Caveat Emptor.
The vendor was also an educator for ReMax with her interesting mantra of "Discuss. Disclose. Document"

It appears that while the vendor was aware of the problem, the agent who listed the property did not know about it.
Given the house was sold through the auction, does the vendor have to disclose all information known to her?
I thought that selling through the auction frees the vendor from the duty to disclose any information, but of course allow the purchaser do due diligence.

the experts walking up drive had already decided it needed a reclad. Straight away her problem was uneconomic repair. Her economic loss is actually quite small but now she needs to recover legal and expert costs 100k plus?
f....hot
yes exactly, it states on the form, is there any known defects with the home
10.3 allows for builders report but not invasive investigation so how are you supposed to see into the wall
