Defendant would probably argue 3 year property tort SOL. Plaintiff could argue 7 year SOL. Arguing no notice will be hard with public records. Tax Statutes will have some impact also.

You can notify seller of breach of contract if nothing like that is in contract. But you need to read it closely. Seller could still sue for specific performance, but doubtful. You will probably lose earnest money. Ask to pay a lower price.
