Chalet Liability: Get Help with Legal Questions

Questioner

I bought a chalet in August. It now appears that the water pipe at the previous owner's house has burst due to frost. The pipe needs to be completely re-laid from the meter. Also in the chalet. Can I hold the previous owner liable for this?

Lawyer

Did the pipe burst due to frost or did the seller conceal this fact? In both cases you could try to reclaim costs. It seems to me that the seller must have known about this. There is at least one case of error and non-conformity.
