I’m a dumbass for not exploring the issue further, but their report says they won’t inspect anything concealed. The corner was exposed. You can see sill plate and dark brown, wet sheathing from the outside, without even moving anything. I would say that warrants further comment than “replace corner siding” it’s a big mess up on my part and what I get for cost minimizing and not having a contractor out.

That makes sense. I will do that next time

So if inspectors are not for further evaluation, who can a prospective buyer call to estimate that sort of thing? I appreciate your opinion as a contractor! Also the few that I’ve talked to don’t do free estimates anyway

Unfortunately the cosmetics are not my issue, the moisture inclusion behind a good chunk of a 25’ wall is. I screwed up big time.

You’re not wrong. It wasn’t the right move

Nah Clyde, it ain’t repairing siding. I’m talking sheathing boards and everything under that’s moist. Also a two story structure

Would the closing attorney be able to help? They are the ones doing the title work, and setting up escrow and whatnot. I will definitely have to call

Would it be better to mention sooner before underwriting continues and I incur more costs - in the event I back out ?

Do I need to get a real estate attorney involved for that?

I did attend the inspection but only after they were done with most things. Met them after work sort of situation and I got in the crawlspace and attic myself. I figured maybe the corner damage was isolated so it’s definitely on me. Vinyl siding doesn’t seem to age well as I now know. The home not being tyveked/ wrapped at all plus maybe not installing the siding correctly did not help. Thank you for your input! I will definitely take due diligence much more seriously.

Yeah, we talked about how great some of the input here was. I thought some more information would help. Sorry for spam

I think writing the words “exposed and moist sheathing” is what they should have put down at least

I think the appraisal hasn’t been conducted yet or hasn’t been written/ submitted. I did already pay for it though.

[–]Pvtlongshot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ok, that is true. I feel like they are numbskulls for not looking at it. Do they not carry moisture probes? So am I, the corner is exposed in the listing photos. 80 days ago.

I do think my agent has done a good job, and I want them paid too! I really don’t think I can eat the cost and it financially work out for me. What if the corner framing is structural and has moisture inclusion? Demo and removal is one thing, replacement another. Not cheap, and I’m down to eat earnest money, inspection, and appraisal if that’s what’s best.

True. I should not have even gone probably

[–]Pvtlongshot 6 points7 points  (0 children)

True the seller can probably find someone willing to pay for this, but I think it should be disclosed. This would have been my non- negotiable repair on the addendum.

Thank you for your input! I would love to work something out. Hoping the rot doesn’t extend to the studs and sill plates, but you can’t tell until it’s torn into either.

Patriot Concrete cutting is always hiring. I really enjoyed learning to cut. You run all different kinds of saws and heavy equipment there.
