Home Inspection Complete

The home inspection completed.  The primary inspection found some chimney and crawl space problems so we had some specialists give us a couple of quotes.  Th repair quotes were pretty high (really out of line) so we asked the sellers to help with some of the closing costs.

They apparently weren't too excited about our requested dollar figure, so they had some other quotes obtained.  The additional quotes for the repair to the chimney and crawlspace were a lot closer to what I felt they should have been to begin with.  The sellers offerred to pay the full amount on the revised quotes to get the repairs done.

WE are pretty good with that, so we plan to agree with the sellers counter offer and move forward with the house.

Now we need to get the home appraisel done and then get a closing date from the lender.

Home Inspection Issues

The house we are working on buying had a couple of issues we need to investigate:

1. chimney needed to have a little repair at the top
2. lots of moisture under the crawl space in the newer side of the house

We are having some folks give us estimates on addressing both problems.  There were a few other very minor observations (missing outlet covers, some reverse wired outlets, etc.), but pretty good other than that.  We are still interested in the house and will discuss the cost of the problems with the current home owners later this week.
