Requesting the removal and replacement of old attic insulation

[Michael Tranzilli]

BP,

     My wife and I just got an offer accepted on a two family that was built in 1960 and in pretty good shape.  An inspection found old insulation in attic that needs to be replaced.  What's the general consensus on asking the seller to remove and replace before going to contract?  Is that acceptable or is that something that the buyer would normally just take care of?

The best part about vermiculite is when you have to cut into a ceiling and you don’t know there’s vermiculite above. Woof.. when it rains it pours!
