Thoughts and ideas from one of the best area home inspectors in the Bloomington Normal area.
Renting & Real Estate
I set to close on the 15 of Jan(in California) on a short sale. Realtor cannot get a hold of seller if the seller does not show up can i get out of deal. The bank for short sale gave until 21 of January to close. In addition i made the mistake of not doing an inspection the first 17 days, waited until closing and there are problems with the foundation being uneven(told it need an engineer to determine extent) bottom line can i get out if not signed by the 15 or the date given by the bank on the 21 without losing my earnest money.

mira a asked:
Ik legde werkelijk een aanbieding voor een huis voor, het wasn' t de aanbieding die ik werkelijk wilde geven. Maar het was besproken 15K minder dan de lijstprijs. Nu na de inspectie, tenzij de verkoper enkele veiligheidskwesties behandelt, moet de prijs worden aangepast. Mijn realtor deelde mee dat als de verkoper uit de overeenkomst wil steunen zij het zekerst kan. Nochtans, moet zij de bevindingen in het inspectierapport aan de volgende geinteresseerde koper nu onthullen. Ik kan behandelen of en de kosmetische kwesties in tijd bevestigen, maar de veiligheidskwesties zullen moeten worden behandeld alvorens ik me volledig kan binnen bewegen.

The “person” buying my home wants $12,000 in repairs (largest items: Radon Remediation (we are at a 4.6) $3000, a Chimney Liner ($3000), and … they are claiming there is POSSIBLE Asbestos inside our ductwork ~ it’s non-visible for $3500 (we had a company come out ALREADY and remove Asbestos, for $4000, and issue a Clean Air Certificate. They claim there may be more, they missed?!?) Our Attorney is giving us the impression that these items aren’t negotiable (we know the Radon isn’t). We always thought this part of the process WAS negotiable? Any thoughts?!? o I’m in Princeton, NJ. o Of course I’m aware of the market … we are already selling for $135,000 less than we started. o 4.6 is not bad, 4.0 is allowed. o Great idea on having them prove the asbestos (re-test). o Yes, code now requires a Chimney Liner. Fireplace works great ~ masonry. o We’ve already spent $4000 (to remove asbestos ductwork & furance) ~ they want an ADDITIONAL $12,000.

Can a buyer back out of a purchase agreement with a home inspection even if the inspection showed nothing?
2486 days
J D asked:
We recieved an offer on our house and signed the purchase agreement immediately. The purchase agreement was contingent on an inspection. 2 days later, the buyers wanted to back out because they found a house for less money. Our realtor tells us there is nothing we can do because the buyers can just complete the inspection and cancel at that point. Even if the inspection is perfect. Is this true? Do we have no alternative than to let them back out? We have not signed any type of cancellation of purchase agreement yet? Does that even exist? What is most frustrating is that had we recieved a better offer in those two days, we would have been out of luck.
Thank you to everyone who answered so far. Although I didn’t necessarily get the answer I had hoped for (I wasn’t expecting to), it makes me feel better to know that we are not giving up too easily.

What’s the best way to negotiate a home inspection into the final sale price when purchasing a house?
0486 days
T J asked:
We’re not sure we can trust the seller to make quality repairs should any faults be found. Can we some how negotiate a lower sale price so we can do a good quality repair ourselves? Should we have a contractor walk through the house with us and present the estimates at the time of closing? The inspection is happening this week and closing is scheduled for the end of the month. We’ve already noticed a drippy ceiling coming through a central heating vent. Plus a 126 sq ft back porch is incomplete and really needs to be demolished and rebuilt. The back yard doesn’t drain too well either. Many puddles and soggy areas still present after our second walkthrough five days later. It has a nice garden area but we don’t want to grow rice if you know what I mean. Major sections of the roof have no gutters and the carport roof lacks a significant pitch (just so happens to be the same room with heater vent leak). Backyard spotlight looks like it’s attached to an extension cord and taped up with electrical tape. We’re already getting an ok deal but and additional 5 to 8 thousand off would definitely make the deal so much better as we would hope to keep repairs and modifications under $10,000. Welcome your advice and website links. Other useful info for you…It’s a rancher with an aluminum roof covering the main living space. The carport is attached to house and converted to a big living room / dining room space.
Thanks!
Our offer is already approved. Now we’re awaiting the inspection and will be there for that. The contract is written to say all repairs must be done by seller before closing, or if the inspection looks bleak we have the option of walking…
Compile results of home inspection. Make list of all problematic issues & decide which issues you want addressed before purchase is finalized.Discuss these w/your real estate agent.Together,you can decide whether the homeowner should rectify these issues or if you should handle the repairs yourself &adjust your purchase offer to reflect expenses.Formulate a new offer for the house. Estimate your cost to make any repairs &deduct that amount from your offer.contact a contractor or construction expert to get a firm estimate.Formally enter your counter offer with the sellers.Allow them time to consider your offer &any concerns you may have about the condition of the property.then Refuse the seller’s offer to address the house repairs on his own. It will be in the seller’s interest to make repairs as quickly &cheaply as he can.Might not be in your best interest.Stay near your phone,sellers response could come quickly.maybe in sellers interest to renegotiate sale asap,close deal& get paid…

How much can I ask the seller to repair after home inspection?

tazzmainiandevils asked:
The house we are buying is overall in good condition. But the heating pump is old and may go in a couple years. Right now it dysfunctions and makes a noise too. There are various leaks in pipes, and on the roof, and some trip hazards with unleveled sidewalks to name a few things found in inspection.
We basically gave these people full asking price within a couple thousand dollars in this depressed market. Our agent seems almost like she wants to ask for repairs but not go overboard. We really want this stuff fixed because if we want to resell in a few years we don’t want to have to fix it, and we are not handy. Also, if they say they won’t fix the things we request, can we opt out of the purchase?
