Resolved Question: Question about a leaky roof?
I have a leaky house roof and i want to know if i’m being over charged? My house is 2,500 square feet. Some shingles are gone and some wood is rotten, the person in my house before i moved in was supposed to have an inspector to fix everything but he didn’t so now it’s costing my $4,000 to fix my little home and i don’t have the money. So is there any cheaper companies out there that i could go with or is that how much it will cosh either way? I’m willing to pay maybe $2,300.
I’m sorry my home is 1,500 square feet not 2,500 square feet.
Voting Question: How much credit do I ask for re: a broken heat pump ?
I did a home inspection today on a condo in Boston and the heating split system did not work. The inspector explained how the heat pump system works and that rignt now the heat is working on “emergency only”, meaning that the indoor unit works but the outside unit is not operating. He explained that the AC would not work and the heat was very costly. The look of the outdoor unit alone indicates it’s very old. I know that the building was rehabbed in 1981 and believe this is how old the outdoor unit is. It looks like the other condos in the building re-did thier systems (they are all on the roof) but this one is not. So…my question is, if the seller refuses to replace and we instead negotiate on a credit, does anyone know how much it will cost? The place is approximately 825 sq. feet. How complicated is it to replace? Anything else I should know?
Voting Question: Bidding on a Probate home with lots of Termite Problems in West Covina, Ca?
My husband and I really like a house in West Covina, Ca that is listed as a Probate Sale. We submitted an offer and was quickly accepted. Soon after we started doing the inspections. The home inspection and Termite inspection was not great. To begin with most of the floor inside the house squeaks, in one bedroom, there must have been water damage because the wooden floor is lifted. One the three restrooms also has water damage…there is a leak that has ruined the floor and it needs a shower replacement and most obvious the floor. When the termite inspector was there, he stated that the house was filled with Termites. Most obvious on the outside beams and the backyard patio that is connected to the house, in which is were Termites begin…open air places. Then he went into the detached garage, where he stated that no piece of wood there was termite free. After poking through most of all woods, the dust of the wood was just fall. We then got a roofer to come and give us an estimate on the property. The roofer then told us that the house was in need of a new roof and also mentioned about replacing the beams around the house and replacing most the outside patio. And also stated that roof on the garage and the beams on the garage where also necessary to fix.
Not to mention that most of the house inside needs flooring. Two bedrooms, and the hallways as well as the living room are all covered with squared wooden sheets. The kitchen floor is also in need of flooring.
***My husband and I really like the floorplan and know that this home has potential. But when we placed our offer on this home, we did not foresee the extra expenses. Yes, we did see the flooring expense, but not the roof and beams and all that extras. We placed our bid really close to asking price, in which is what the home was appraised at. Other homes in the area haves sold for the same price and are in living condition.
——–>So finally my question is, Will the sellers to this Probate home give us any credit for fixtures. Or are probate sales just listed as is. As far as we know, many people have either not passed through escrow or others have backed off after seeing all the fixing the house needs (per neighbors to home). Is this a good investment, this would be our first home, and the home where we would like to raise our children.
