In Thacker v. Tyree, 171 W.Va 110, 297 S.E.2d 885 (1982), the purchasers of a home claimed that various problems developed after they moved in which ultimately resulted in cracked walls and foundation problems. The purchasers filed a complaint charging the vendor with fraudulent concealment of a latent defect of which the vendor had knowledge. The vendor filed a motion for a summary judgment pointing out that the purchasers had never asked even a general question as to the quality of the house and that no representations were made by them in this regard. The Court concluded in Thacker that summary judgment was not appropriate where a vendor is aware of defects or conditions which substantially affect the value or habitability of the property and the existence of which are unknown to the purchaser and would not be disclosed by a reasonably diligent inspection, then the vendor has a duty to disclose the same to the purchaser.
