We can we do with the problems from the previous owner after two years of purchasing a house?

When we bought the house, the poison Ivy was growing all over the backyard. However, we did not know those are poison Ivy until someone got hurt . Our neighbor also claimed ivy went to their side of the yard and we had to hire some to clean their side up too. We hired buyer agent, but he never disclosed this problem to us and neither the seller agent did. Even though we thought we got ride of all ivy last year, they come back again now. The roots are deep and fat, so they are really hard to be got ride of completely. Are there anything we can do legally? I read some article saying that the seller must provide certain info. such as environmental problems.We can we do with the problems from the previous owner after two years of purchasing a house?No, these are weeds, weeds do not have to be disclosed and they are not liable for them existing.We can we do with the problems from the previous owner after two years of purchasing a house?There is no requirement to disclose the growth of such weeds on the property. It's entirely possible that the former owner didn't know it was poison ivy either. This is your expense to handle. As well, you were not responsible to remove poison ivy growth from your neighbor's yard. Weeds are weeds. If they grew onto his property, it's HIS problem to handle.We can we do with the problems from the previous owner after two years of purchasing a house?You have no recourse against the seller. Talk to your local nursery/garden center about how to control the poison ivy. DO NOT burn it... it's the oil in the leaves that causes the reaction, and burning the plant causes the oil to disperse in the smoke. If you think it's bad when you get it on your skin, imagine breathing it in! Be extremely vigilant, because the smallest piece left behind will grow new plants. I don't generally recommend herbicides, but I believe Ortho makes one that is specific for poison ivy, and it sounds like that may be your best bet for treating this.We can we do with the problems from the previous owner after two years of purchasing a house?
a; you have a case against the seller.

b; you have a case against the buyer's agent

c; I am guessing you did not hire an inspector.

d; when you saw this bush-plant, did you ask what it was? YOU had no obligation to pay for

any remediation for any plant-tree-whatever, that travels to a neighbor; they may remediate

from their side IF they desire.



if you hire a botanist--i am sure they can guide you as to getting rid of the bush/ivy.

I also am guessing if you dug up the dirt down to 1-2 feet where you think the heart of it is.....

and pull out whatever you find...........and leave the hole there for a few weeks.......and

use fire as applicable.........



YOU did not say who you hired to get rid of the ivy. check out their warranty too.



get back to me
