My purchasing lawyer is a Chinese guy. Very nice and have no difficulty during the process. But,
there is a leaking next spring. Someone said I should call lawyer and require compensation from the seller, the real agent, and the house inspector. So I called the Chinese lawyer, he said, this is a old house, it is no possible to claim against anybody. If it is a new house, you may have some chance.
I called another unknown local western lawyer, actually a law student in a law firm answered my question, he said he need to see the document to see my chance. He said he had been involved on both side litigation for this kind of civil litigation.
For the Chinese house inspector, later someone told me, he never climb up to check the roof.
If I had a chance to buy another house, I will be far far away from these two Chinese professional.
Find someone who can fight for your rights!
Good luck!
