[CLC-Discussion] Request for CLC pro bono assistance from Jacksonville Area Legal Aid (JALA).

[Pamela M.M. Holcombe, Esq.]

The JALA client is a 100% disabled military veteran, who with his wife,
purchased a "fully renovated" single-family home in the Jacksonville area
in fall 2022 with a VA home loan.  It appears the home was purchased from a
long-term owner, and "renovated" by a flipper, and sold for substantial
price increase. The client believes the seller performed defective
renovation work and failed to disclose material facts, so the matter
involves both construction defects and potential Johnson v Davis claims.
After moving in, defects were discovered with the renovation plumbing, the
newly installed flooring warping due to moisture intrusion, the siding
repaired by the seller leaking during rainstorms; and the roof, despite
appearing new during the inspection, leaking in three spots during
rainstorms.
The potential clients also believe they were misled by the seller, as they
were told after specific inquiry the home was on city sewer.  (The
potential clients made it known to their agent that they would not consider
a house with a septic tank).   Approximately 6 months later, the client
stepped into a hole in their backyard, thereby discovering the existence of
a septic tank.  A septic contractor was called out who confirmed that the
house was connected to that septic tank and that it was at least 15 years
old because of the type and condition of the septic tank, which is also in
need of substantial and expensive repairs.


Please contact me directly if you might be able to assist in this matter
and I can send you information for conflicts check and then connect with
JALA.
