Can't Install a Septic System

[Lot 74]

My question involves real estate located in the State of: Indiana

My wife and I purchased a 1.12 acre lot in a residential subdivision. We financed it through a land company while we waited to sell a condo. We were going to build a home on it and the only drawback that existed was that it needed a mound septic. We researched and b/c of the location of the land and other factors we were fine with that and we knew it would be a good chunk of change. Needless to say, we have now been told by the septic engineers that the degree of slope is 8 and we must have 6 or less and they will not approve a mound. The land contract states that the land will take a mound now I'm told it can not. Can I get my friggin money back.

well, a mound would still be possible, if you filled the land to reduce the slope to less than 6 degrees.

If you want to have your contract reviewed to see if you can get out of it, you'll need to run it past a real estate lawyer or similar professional who has the opportunity to read it.
