Interesting-did you have an attorney? Did you investigate if it was paid as claimed or did your/an atty advise you.

I'm not an attorney but I recall reading in Real Estate law only what is written is binding. A verbal claim bond it paid, permits have all been filed, all work was properly done etc may or may not be valid.
