Restoring the rights of home buyers

January 23, 2009 By WRN Contributor

Protections for Wisconsin home buyers would be restored, under a proposal in the Legislature.

The measure is authored by state Senator Jon Erpenbach (D-Waunakee) in response to a Supreme Court decision last year. Erpenbach says that ruling basically removed the legal rights of a buyer to sue the former owner of the home if it was later found they failed to disclose a problem.

Erpenbach says the bill would allow the buyer to go back to the seller to demand repairs be made.

The Waunakee Democrat says a coalition of real estate groups, home inspectors, and attorneys helped draft the bill.
