Visited a House Viewing While it Was Still Winter. Water Leaks from the Roof When Looking Towards the Ridge, you can see Out. Didn't notice this during the Viewing, it was hidden by Snow. What do You Do About the Problem?
Then it has Turned Out to be Mold in the Attic. Everyone I have Talked to believes it's a defect from when the House Was Built in 1977, Aluminum Roof.
Also, when you enter the Storage from the Laundry Room, a Mysterious Smell in the Summer from a closed off Hatch, nailed shut.
The Estate that Sold the House Said the Hatch should not be Opened. Opened it Anyway, a Food Cellar with about a decimeter of Water in it, a little more, and Mold under the Hatch. What Do You Do When it's a Hidden Defect? Can You Claim a Hidden Defect When the Sellers Bought Insurance That Relieves Them From Responsibility?
There has been over half a meter to a meter of Water. The Wall is Black where Water has been. What Do you Do About the Problem?
If I go Back to the Attic, the Roofers said that If done Properly, the Entire Roof should be Replaced, and that's not cheap. Do you think it can be covered by Warranties? Bought the House 6/17/2024, am on Disability Pension and can't Borrow Money, what do you do?

Just because you didn't thoroughly inspect the house before purchasing doesn't mean they're hidden defects.
Why didn't you check this before you bought it?
Fix the issues and move on. You have nothing to gain from the seller.

In order to investigate further, I would have had to remove all the masonite to be able to see and examine

It is difficult to get any money from the estate that sold. It is a matter of defects that could easily be discovered upon examination, unfortunately.
What does the water-filled pantry look like? Is there any organic material, like chipboard or other wood-based material? Remove it, if so! Is it possible to make a small sump in the floor and put in a submersible pump to remove the water that way?
As for the roof, it is probably "just" a matter of starting to plan and save money for a roof replacement next summer. Depending on why you are on disability pension and what abilities you have, it is best, at least from an economic standpoint, to do as much of the roof replacement as possible yourself, or with the help of family and friends. You write that it looks okay at the ridge. Put a new ridge cap there for now, and you should manage through the winter at least.

The insurance company is involved in Källaren Ocan Pumping out the water took about 3 hours so it was 4 centimeters So it seems to rise Anticimex will check during the week
