IS THE HOME INSPECTION REPORT A SELLERS REPAIR LIST?
The home inspection report is not meant to be a sellers repair list. The primary reason for hiring a home inspector is to get information about the home your are purchasing before you actually buy it. ALL home have defects and issues, it is impossible to purchase a home without some kind of defects, after all houses are made by man not divine hands. It is not the role of a home inspector to make a complete repair list for the house, nor is it the sellers obligation to repair any issues found by the home inspector. Sellers are not obligated to produce repair free or flawless home by contract or law. Many repairs are negotiable but not required to be done by the seller. Sellers make repairs as a matter of choice, not obligation: to help with good will and facilitate the completion of a real estate transaction. Sellers may refuse demands, except where required by law or real estate contract.
