Hi all!! First time home buyer here. I just had a home inspection performed for a house I’m under contract for. I am unfamiliar with the inner working of houses and systems and would love some 3rd party opinions/feedback on my inspection findings (https://docdro.id/JoOHayE).
Seems like house is mostly free of large problems however I do have some concerns on the following:
-
Decking (p.5)
-
Moisture damage to rear exterior door (p.6; p.8 for pictures)
-
Foundation cracks in garage (p.8; p.9 for pictures)
-
Absence of roof kick out flashings (p.12)
-
Gaps in soffit at front of home (pp.12-13)
-
Repairs to truss system with no structural engineer’s note (p.13)
-
Warped trusses (p.13)
-
Visible gap between roof sheathing and fascia (p.14)
-
****Zurn Corp QPEX plumbing fitting**** (pp.14-15)
-
Possible toilet leakages for all toilets (p.15)
-
Evidence of small leakage in both HVAC units replaced 2018 (p.18)
-
Loose/wobbly bannister (p.20)
-
Broken thermal window seals (p.21)
-
Crawlspace: Foundation columns & moisture damage to sub-floor along rear exterior door (pp.24-25)
I understand this is a seller’s market and common courtesy is to include only material defects/repairs in the repair request. I’m trying to be reasonable and tried to identify only concerns that would cause a potential adverse impact on the property or pose an unreasonable risk to people. I’d like to present the sellers with legitimate repair items and would appreciate everyone’s analysis and input. Thanks all!!!
TLDR: First time homebuyer – just had inspection. Not sure what should be included in repair request to seller, would love analysis and feedback. (https://docdro.id/JoOHayE)
