""Our first night there we did what the seller's agent suggested - opened the windows because it was a nice night, and unplugged the air-fresheners," he said. "But we woke up to a horrible smell. It was everywhere.""
""From what we've been able to find out, the leak occurred many years ago and the oil line was replaced in 2000," he said. "We lost all of our upholstered furniture, our clothing, everything smelled of oil. Even our plastic Tupperware smelled like oil.""
""They flew out of Manchester Airport the day after the closing," said Creamer. "We tried to stop payment on the property, but it had already been recorded at the Registry of Deeds, so it was too late.""
A young couple purchased a single-family home that had a longstanding, undisclosed oil tank leak. Within hours of moving in they noticed a pervasive oil smell that ruined upholstered furniture, clothing, carpeting, rugs, and even plastic containers. The couple evacuated with their two sons while relatives removed contaminated items. Investigations indicated the leak occurred years earlier and the oil line was replaced in 2000. The previous owners relocated immediately after closing. Attempts to stop the recorded sale failed because the deed had already been recorded at the Registry of Deeds. The buyers initiated legal action over the undisclosed contamination.
