After an inspection, you have choices. Here is how buyers decide what to ask for and how to ask.
Sort the findings
- Safety and structural: the highest priority.
- Major systems: roof, HVAC, plumbing, electrical.
- Cosmetic or minor: usually better handled after closing.
Your options
Within the deadlines in your contract, you can typically request repairs, ask for a credit or price reduction, or end the contract. Your agent will help you pick a request the seller is likely to accept, and your attorney can review the amendment.
