Buyers Of My Recently Sold Home Threatening Legal Action

Card image cap

Location: Kansas

I sold my property on 3/21. Everything with the transaction was normal start to finish. Then today, my realtor called to inform me that the buyers are extremely upset. There was lots of rain last week and I guess the basement had a little water. Buyers have determined there are foundation issues, and are blaming us for not being upfront about it. They are threatening to hire an attorney to come for the $14k needed to fix the foundation

Here’s the thing: not only did I disclose everything I knew about the foundation (there definitely were some issues) but I had a foundation company come out before market and check the work they had previously done was sound. They wrote me a letter explaining the work that was done and the future work that needed to be done. This letter was available to the buyers during the entire process, and I touched on it again when I filled out the seller disclosure.

Do you think my butt is covered? Should I be looking for a lawyer?
