the hot water baseboard has water leaks in the house I just bought# Living

I just bought a house, and it has a big finished basement around 1500 sq.
The seller installed new hot water radiant heat baseboards in the basement
which is just done 1 month before I bought the house and it's never used. I
didn't tested it during the final walkthrough. Now when I try to use it. I
found that there are water leaks from the baseboard. I hired a plumber to
check it, seems the seller did a crap job just for selling the house. The
pipes run behinds the walls are plastic, and the pipe run through the
baseboard are copper. I am sure there are certain code/rule how to connect
them together, but currently the connection between the copper pipe and
plastic pipe are all wrong and leaking water. I might have to re-install all
of my baseboards (9). Can I talk to lawyer and ask seller to fix this? As
far as for my understanding heat should be the pre-requisite to sell the
house.
Any ideas or suggestions are more than welcome. Thanks a lot!
