Got the inspection report, and it was as advertised. Some (hopefully not expensive) electrical issues and one moderately (approx $3,500) plumbing problem along with a couple of vents that do not exit the home, but instead are venting into the attic. (dickheads for leaving that this long!)
So, my question is how much money do I hit the sellers for? I am not paying to resolve all of this bullshit, and I don't give a crap if I have to walk away, giving the sellers the finger the whole time. My best guess is that it's going to be $5,000+/- to fix all the stuff I think needs to fixed. My plans as they stand now:
Unreasonable = Give me $6,000 back at the closing and I'll buy your home. The extra $1,000 from the above amount is to allow for change orders and to compensate me for the pain of having to do all this shit.
Fairly reasonable = Give me $4,000 and I'll handle $1,000 plus any overages. I believe this is the most likely scenario. It allows me to get the plumbing and electrical handled in a timely fashion, and still only be out of pocket maybe $1,000.
Reasonable = Split it with me.
Anyone else have any thoughts? As of right now, I think I'm going to lead 100% reimbursement on all repairs, and then negotiate downwards.
Lots of other stuff going on, both at work and personally, but I'll have to discuss that stuff later.
Later
