Buying a house in Mckinney Texas : Affected by lightening fire

Satya Patil

Posted

Hi All,

This is my first post in this forum! I am in process of buying a single family home as an investment property in McKinney, TX. From the disclosures I understood that there was a fire in the attic caused (previous owners version) by lightening. The cost of repairs was 70k+, which included new insulation, new rafters and beams in the roof, new roofing, new heating and air units (since they are in the attic), etc.

Now I am in two minds as to whether or not pursue this home further. Rest of the house is in good conditions. Will this fire damage become a problem when I have to sell this house. 

I have 1 week option period till next Friday. I have scheduled an inspection next week.

Any feedback, help as to whether or not pursue this home any further is greatly appreciate.

Thanks,

Satya
