Sold A House 2 Years Ago And Now The Buyer Has Threatened Suit Over A Leaking Roof.

Location: Indiana

I sold my house a couple years ago (2 years and 1 month since closing) to a woman who has USDA backed loan. Due to the type of loan she was getting it took 6 months from the purchase agreement being signed to get to closing. The buyer's agent arranged for the home inspection which was communicated to me through my agent. There were a few small issues found in the report, all of which were corrected, documented, and signed off on by the buyer's lender. The only note in the inspection about the roof was that it appeared to be less than 5 years old and showed no obvious signs of damage (the listing stated the roof was professionally replaced 4 years prior to listing).

Last week my agent called me and asked if I still had information on who did the roof and who to contact for a warranty claim. I told him that information was all left in a folder on the kitchen counter when I left the house for the buyer to have just in case. He ok no worries and he'd contact the buyer's agent to relay the information. He called me again yesterday saying the buyer's boyfriend called him saying I never left any information about the roof and it appeared to be done by a homeowner not a professional. My agent said he ended the call as soon as the guy mentioned taking me to court. His recommendation is to not speak to the buyer if im contacted but I wanted to ask here if I have anything to worry about.

I've never personally met the buyer. Closing ended up being a mess and the title company had me sign all of my paperwork at a different time than the buyer. 3 months after the purchase agreement was signed my agent called and told me the buyer wanted to back out on the deal. He explained that I was under no legal obligation to allow this to happen. I had already moved out all of my non-essential possessions, and begun construction on my new home so said I didn't want to have to relist the home for sale. The buyer's boyfriend called my agent then demanding my phone number which my agent refused. The boyfriend seems like a typical bully who uses intimidation to get his way.
