Oh something I forgot to mention, sale the agent mentioned that buyer noticed lots of little repairs the house would need and wanted a sizeable discount to account for that. to me these are obvious things a buyer should know when buying and living in a used house.Īnyway, I sent the agent an email explaining my side of it and heard nothing back. the shingles for example are old and the gutters need fixing or replacing. I noticed a leak the first spring I was there but then I learned to go outside and knock the snow and ice piles off the roof and so the leak never came backĪny buyer could see the house is older and in need of different maintenance. the inspection said the porch was not built on a foundation it was just an add-on This was my first house ever so I also had an inspection when I bought the house 3 years ago and there was no mention of anything. he also said something about the buyer having someone check behind the walls and ceiling and conclude the problem didn't just start but had been going on for years. The buyer also felt the leak was causing mold in the walls and that he was rebuilding a lot of the porch rather than just repair whatever was leaking. the buyer did have an inspection done before the sale closed.Īgent explained the buyer felt I'd covered up the leak by painting the porch but in truth the porch, like the entire house, was thoroughly painted because it needed it. the house is low cost 60 years old, sold as-is. The agent agreed it was a crazy request and that the buyer didn't have much grounds for it. He was asking me to chip in $1500 to the repairs which was supposedly less than the full amount and was some kind of compromise amount he was 'offering' to be nice.
a month or two after the sale went through, the agent called and said the buyer found a leak in the porch and had spent a lot to have it fixed including some amount (not sure how much) of work to rebuild the porch.
Ok, I sold my house last winter and moved away.
