I couldn't make myself go in to the office after the inspection. I came home and put on my jammies. (Picture pathetic!)
I am going to a wine and cheese tasting this evening. I will probably taste more wine than cheese...

House Inspection
The house inspection was today. It was so bad that I can't even talk about it. Thank goodness I spent the money on an inspector! Bottom line is that unless the seller comes up with about $25,000 (!!!) in repairs, I am not going anywhere!

Oh Suzan--I'm sorry to hear that but wow did you dodge a bullet! That house sounds like it has some issues. Count your blessings, keep looking--the right domocile will present itself. Enjoy your wine (and maybe cheese) tonight--you earned it!
ReplyDeleteOh what a disappointment ,but better you know now then after you own it .Maybe you can work out some kind of deal with the owner .Cheer up there is always more houses out there .
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your wine and wine tasting tonight LOL forget the cheese .
(((hugs))) enjoy your wine....
ReplyDeletethat's why there are inspections! my dh and I were so excited about a house a few months ago so we had a friend of the family do an "informal inspection"... it was a situation very similar to yours. we are glad that we didn't go through with an offer on that house for certain! we are much happier now... after a year plus of home searching! I can officially say now that it's frustrating as heck, but the right thing will always come along! good luck - enjoy the wine!
ReplyDeleteSo much better to find out now - instead of after the fact.
ReplyDeleteYou may have to keep looking -

I know you're disappointed but atleast now you know before you own it. The right one will come along.
ReplyDeleteOh Suzan, I'm sorry to hear that. Look at it this way - maybe you'll find another house with an even bigger sewing studio and it might even have a few more kitchen cupboards. Seriously, I'm sure you must be so disappointed but it just wasn't meant to be.
ReplyDeleteSuzan, I am sorry. Either way, it should be a win-win situation. If the owner pays, the repairs should be done. If he doesn't, it wasn't meant to be, and your perfect home is waiting for you. Don't give up. Cheer up, and enjoy your evening.

Thank goodness you had the inspection! I think things happen for a reason and they'll either fix it and it will be a better home- or you'll find a better home! Enjoy the wine.
ReplyDeleteYou really can't lose here. If the seller wants to sell that badly, you'll get a real bargain and if not, you won't be stuck with a lemon. I know it's disappointing but better to know now than later. Maybe the "perfect" house for you is still out there waiting for ya!
ReplyDeleteHang in there ....
So sorry to hear that the house didn't work out, but glad you didn't get saddled with a money pit. House inspections are an absolute must, aren't they? I bet the problems weren't at all visible to the untrained eye. Keep your spirits up (but maybe not your wineglass!). The house for you is out there.
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry.
ReplyDeleteThat happened to us aswell. It's a huge slap in the face. Don't stress though. There's a house that's got your name on it out there.
love and big hugs xxx
Oh no!!! Well, it's a great thing that you spent the money on the inspection. That is just too bad that there were too many problems. (((hugs))) to you!!
ReplyDeleteOh Suzan!! I am so sorry to hear that. But better to know now than later. How could they hide $25K in repairs?????
ReplyDeleteSomething will come up, have faith.

Oh how frustrating -but at least you know... Keep us posted.
ReplyDeleteInspections are always worth their weight in gold. Good thing you discovered the house's faults now. Who knows - the owners may remedy these things since the house won't sell otherwise.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, check my blog, I'm tagging you. HEHEHEHEHEHE!
Hugs,
Cathy
Hi Suzan,
ReplyDeleteI hadn't visited you in a few days, and thought to check on you on the move situation.
So sorry to hear about the latest development. I guess at least you find out before it's too late.
I hope the rest of your day goes better for you.
Awww, I'm sorry Suzan. Keep looking, you'll find a Gem. In the mean time, get your sewing in cause it will be awhile before I get to play again.
ReplyDeleteYikes! That's a lot of repairs, isn't it? Like you said, how lucky to have an inspection done. We lost a house to an inspection once, and even though it broke my heart, that house was in horrible shape. It was a good thing we didn't buy it.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you had a wine and cheese tasting to go to afterward! I hope it raised your spirits as you raised your glass.
