Share some house buying horror stories.

One horror story is when a couple bought a house without a proper inspection. After moving in, they found out the roof was leaking badly. Every time it rained, water would seep into their bedrooms and living room, ruining their furniture. It cost them a fortune to fix the roof, which they hadn't budgeted for.

Some buyers have found that the house they purchased was in an area prone to natural disasters, like floods or landslides. They were not informed about this before buying. After a flood, the house was severely damaged and insurance didn't cover it because it was considered a pre - existing condition due to the location.

I heard a story where in a house share, there was a really noisy roommate. He would play loud music late at night, every night. Not only that, but he also had friends over constantly who were equally noisy. The other housemates couldn't get any proper sleep or study in peace. They tried to talk to him, but he just ignored them and continued his inconsiderate behavior.

Another horror story might involve disputes over land ownership. There could be local families who claim that the land on which the house is built actually belongs to them. This can lead to long and costly legal battles for the new homeowner, and in some cases, they may even end up losing the house they thought they owned.

Hidden structural problems are quite common. For example, a cracked foundation that is not visible during a quick look. Another one is mold. People often move into a house and then find mold growing in the attic or basement which can be a health hazard.

Hidden structural problems are very common. For example, a cracked foundation that isn't visible during a quick viewing. This can lead to costly repairs and even make the house unsafe to live in.

There was a house where every time someone took a shower, the water would turn ice - cold suddenly. One girl saw a shadowy figure outside the frosted glass. She screamed and when her family came, the figure was gone. But after that, she was always terrified to take a bath alone in that house. It seemed like there was something sinister lurking in there.

One horror story could be buying a horse that was advertised as healthy but turned out to have a serious lameness issue. The seller hid it well during the viewing. When the new owner took it for a proper ride after purchase, the horse started limping badly.

One of my home buying horror stories was when we found out that the house had a major mold problem after we signed the contract. The previous owner had hidden it really well. We ended up having to spend a fortune on mold remediation.

There was a retreat house that was said to be haunted. A girl went there for a solo retreat. In the middle of the night, she saw a figure at the end of the hallway. It was a misty, human - like form. She was frozen with fear. The figure seemed to float towards her. Later, she found out that a long - time ago, a woman had died in that house under mysterious circumstances. Maybe it was her spirit still lingering. Since that night, the girl never went back to that retreat house again.
