Seller, "What do you mean, there's something wrong"?
This is why a home inspection is so important. I like Clint's idea about pre sale home inpections. It is a small price to pay to avoid some big poetential problems at the last minute.
Seller, "What do you mean, there's something wrong"?
When inspecting homes I run into all kinds of "issues" that need to be adderessed.
Here are a few more that the seller thought was not an "issue".
When the seller was contacted by their Realtor to talk about the "issues" the seller responded by saying "what do you mean, there's something wrong"?
"My husband did all the work in the attic and there is nothing wrong with what he did. Eveerything has worked just fine since he did the work".
Really? let's take a look.
Here is a sky lite tha is not connected. When the installed had installed it origanally, it was connected. But it was connected useing "duct tape". With the extreme heat in the attics in this part of the country, you cannot use duct tape as a feastener. Only as a Duct sealer. Also no mastic sealer was used on the seams.
Believe it or not, this vent is attached to the second bath power vent. Then just ran into the attic. It also is not connected to an exterior vent.
Notice all the lint and dust in the attic. This is a fire hazard. One small spark and all up in flames.
Have a Great Thanksgiving everyone.
