Offer on SFH....Inspection Over...Need Advice
My wife and I just put an offer on a home. We had the inspection Saturday which revealed the land has a negative grade which needs to be corrected and having using and drain tile put in place (according to the inspector). The front porch is also in need of being replaced or repaired due to being deemed unsafe. The biggest concern to me is the foundation. The inspector noted one basement wall bowing inward due to soil pressure because of the poor drainage and there are some cracks. I have put calls out to contractors and had one be a no show last night for us. Just looking for some input from you all that buy all the time. We have until Thursday to back out, (according to our realtor).
My gut is telling me the drainage and foundation will be an expensive fix but I really am unsure. Attached are some pictures.
