Buying my first home…need some advice?
Hi,
I am purchasing my first home (with my husband). The intercom system doesn’t work. When we had our home inspections, the inspector didn’t add this to his list (I asked him about it and he said that it didn’t have anything to do with the structure of the home). All of the issues on the home inspection sheet have been corrected. Now, we are wondering if we should bring up the broken intercom up at the settlement table. Both of the Realtor think that bringing this issue up at settlement will break the deal (because according to them I am getting a great deal). But, if I am purchasing a home…shouldn’t everything be in working condition. Some background information…we purchased the home for ,000 below the asking price…but it appraised at the value that we purchase the home for. I am emotionally attached to the home…and don’t want to lose it…we are using everything that we have to purchase this home and we will be on a tight budget after we get this home and we can’t afford to have issues. Question: a. Should we bring this issue up at settlement (or are we being to picky). b. Should we purchase the house with the broken intercom system and just fix it in the future? c. Should we bring the issue up at settlement and if they don’t fix it - walk away from the house (with this issue, I am worried about losing my 00 deposit).
Thanks in advance,
