termite inspection results. what to do.
I received a termite report for a property I was looking at buying. It has small stuff like water leakage at sink fixture handles, water leakage in sink drain pipe, water stain beneath sink. I think a turn of a screw would fix those.
One item stated fungus damage to rear patio roof rafters, blocking, support beam and post. The estimate was $4,200. I think the whole patio isn't worth that much. Probably $1,500 to build (open trellis).
Another item was master bedroom sheetrock window sill damage from open bedroom window. $386 estimate.
Are these items that the seller should repair or are things that are overstating the issue. Just want to know if I should walk away and just look for another home, and whether these are major issues with the home.
