Bought a home with no permits, Undisclosed to me,Now what?

Hi, I bought a home in pierce county Wa and found out two moths later that Nothing was permited when built. House,shop,septic Nothing. I just found out the realestate agent i was working with was well aware and didn't disclose this. where do I begin. Now that I live in the home I can see theres no way this home will meet 2015 building codes. Anything helps, Thanks

  • Speak with your real estate lawyer immediately and see if you can file a negligence clause against both the realtor and the previous homeowner. Also speak with your city/town building permits and codes office and ask them what their process is for permitting existing buildings and structures, and get estimates on the cost, that way if you end up taking this issue to court, you have some information to go off of in terms of what you would sue the individuals.
