“Repair Addendum No-Nos”
You’ve found the home you want to buy and have had a home inspection. Moving the sale forward to closing depends on crafting an acceptable repair addendum. The sale contract’s repair addendum gives buyers the opportunity to ask the seller to fix items that could be deal-breakers. But some requests are reasonable while others are not. One mistake that many buyers make is expecting sellers to fix everything mentioned in an inspection report. A home inspection is meant to determine whether there are significant structural defects that affect the home’s value or liability, not a checklist of items to fix before closing. As a rule, don’t ask for cosmetic fixes or anything that another buyer would be willing to overlook.
