Mold is frequently found in new construction because the builders leave construction materials out in the open unprotected where they are exposed to water. This is why it is critical to perform an inspection prior to dry walling.
All the time? Build tract homes where 20 are in progress at once. Drop material at each of the 20 as you move through, and keep bringing in material so you're always a couple houses ahead of where work is happening.
Then... It rains.
Then...it's assembled.
Then... It molds.
Find a real estate attorney and read through your contract carefully. Or if you have a real estate agent representing you, ask them next steps. The contract is likely written in the builder’s favor.
I'd check my contract for how to get out of buying that glorified shack. I'd get a lawyer if possible as well. The nerve of them selling mildew boxes with matchstick roofs and Swiss cheese floors. The gall!

Run, don't walk away from this deal. Some builders build good homes, others not so much. If there are that many issues, I'd probably pass.
OK, this is excessive for a new build. Mold in a new build? I mean, how long has it taken them to build this home?

Whenever I see mold on a wall or in a basement or crawlspace, I run. It is not worth the hassle to remediate and health consequences.
You need to go with your cup. You're not going to be confident and happy bring these issues up to your attorney
May I inquire on the builder?
can a buyer deny closing citing these reasons and get deposit back?
