The fact is the buyer does have teh right to refuse if they dont like the well situation. You may be able to diffuse the situation or save it, if all of you are to come up with a satisfactory agreement. It seems from what you said, it was pretty simple, all they have to do is approve the well. There is no detail on what they would deem wrong. And as Marty said, what harm is there on having one there? Are there two now? And where is the septic (it can always be moved at the sellers expense because they failed to disclose all). One last thing, remember your own reputation, people that are known for working difficult situations through...are often delt repeat business. This is a small community and word of mouth is the best advertising. If this is a builder--you would think they would be willing to work a deal. L. Alaska laws are pretty good about disclosure.

There was a mobile on the lot at the time.The seller did know about it but must have forgot to disclose it.?? The fact of the matter is that this transaction was handed to me and in the additional terms it did state something to the fact that the well was to be approved by the buyer. So, at the time of already having a doubled signed contract I didn't think about any terms.? There should have been other disclosures , one would think. The question?remains--Does the Buyer still have the right to rescind the contract and get their EM back. If they didn't like the fact that the well was an old one?

Was there a house on this property previous to this one? I would think some questions would need to be answered about the well. Is it too close to the septic system? How does it harm the property. Bottom line, it does seem to be a new disclosure. Did the seller not know about the well? That’s kind of strange, how did the title company find out about the well?

The title company finds out that there is an exsisting well on the property. This disclosure wasn't clarified in the beginning. Does the buyer still have the right to rescind? Hey Marty,
