I know a couple who purchased a house just like you are talking about, when the septic system failed the neighbor refused to allow them to do any repairs. Then the other neighbor called the health department because of the raw sewage coming up out of the ground and the heath department made them move out until the problem was fixed. Since they didnt have enough land to put in a new leach field and couldnt fix the problem and couldnt sell the house in the shape it was in they ended up filling bankruptcy to get out from under the house because they couldnt afford a house payment on a house they couldnt live in and had to rent a apartment and couldnt afford both.
