EDWARDSVILLE – Troy homeowners claim they were sold a home with a defective foundation that wasn't disclosed at the time of the sale.
Plaintiffs Gary Tuck and Delisa Tuck filed the lawsuit in the Madison County Circuit Court against Remington Properties, LLC and Oak Stone Properties, LLC, citing breach of contract and fraudulent misrepresentation
According to the lawsuit, the Tucks entered into an agreement to purchase a property located in Troy from the defendants on March 16, 2018. The lawsuit alleges that at the time of purchase, Remington Properties represented that the property had no material defects and that the foundation was guaranteed for life.
The Tucks state that after they took ownership of the home, they began to conduct basic repairs of the home and discovered defects to the foundation walls and the soil surrounding the foundation. The plaintiffs claim they've had to expend large amounts of money to repair the property.
According to the plaintiffs, they entered into a contract to buy the property based on the disclosure provided by the defendants. They allege the defendants breached the contract by failing to disclose important information about the property and fraudulently misrepresented the true condition of the property to induce the plaintiffs into purchasing the property.
The plaintiffs are seeking damages in excess of $50,000, plus court costs, attorney's fees and any other relief the court deems proper. They are represented in this case by attorney Anthony G. Swarringin of Blake, Behme, Links, Raney, P.C. in Belleville.
