I would say you have a good chance, as long as you can get documentation from the utility company stating that the seller received notification. They should have records of service calls made to the address, also any notations made on the account. I'd say it's definitely worth talking to your attorney over. (Keep in mind, this is my limited law knowledge, but I'd say that there may be a good negligence claim, or something along those lines.)

Is this an estate sale?
Reply:ALWAYS have a home inspection done by a lisenced professional home inspector. they can find all kinds of unpleasant surprises before you buy the house. check the contract you have with the seller and get an attorney to find out for sure if you have a case
