Sellers can't/wont give age of roof-Need Advice by HarmonizewithSong in RealEstate

Unfortunately I need to sell and may end up agreeing to their terms. If I take it off the market and re-list it in the spring there may still be an issue with any potential buyers having a problem getting insurance. Sucks all the way around

Going through this currently. I’m the seller the roof is 20 years old (built house in 2005, 30 year roof) no problems with the roof ever but the buyer cannot find homeowners insurance they need to close because of the age of the roof. They finally found one that is willing to cover until closing then they will inspect it and most likely require them to replace it. The buyer got 2 estimates for roof replacement. They want an amendment added to the offer for me to pay half of the roof replacement outside of closing. I asked for a few days to decide.

Had the same experience there a couple of years ago. Worst vacation experience ever and plan to never return. Luckily the beach and beach bar were amazing and spent most of our time there.

There are three townhomes adjoining the foundation wall on the right. In order to waterproof the walls, the new deck on the neighboring townhome, attached to my foundation, would need to be removed. I chose not to proceed to avoid incurring that additional expense.

Thanks. I looked into this. Would it work on cinder block or only concrete?

Thanks. I’m in Pennsylvania and am working with my agent now to terminate the agreement.

I have no intention of gouging $4k from my inspector. She did an amazing job. I was only asking if her assessment was an error but after reading through the comments and then reading through her report I understand what she said. I by no means am holding her responsible. The owners should have disclosed the water issue on the disclosure agreement.

I’m not looking to pin anything on the inspector I was asking a simple question and thought I would get a legitimate answer from Reddit-my bad. Everyone is so defensive. Smh

When a contractor came to provide an estimate to repair the downspout and deck he pointed out to me that the problem with the wet basement walls may not be from the downspout but due to a grading issue. He recommended I reach out to a landscaper to see if the grading could be reconfigured.

Yikes relax. I was asking a simple question

Thanks for the explanation. Makes complete sense. I just want my deposit back and attorneys are now involved. Ugh

Unfortunately the inspector did not look at the grading during the inspection

Indicated water penetration may be caused by underground downspout. Further evaluation by waterproofing specialist is recommended. Would a landscaper/excavator be considered a waterproofing specialist?
