Pool repair question

[Silvia B.]

I just bought a REO home and am making my list of things to be repaired and improved. My question is: the home has an inground pool with vinyl liner. This liner is 13 yrs old and is patched beyond repair. The liner above the water line is cracking also. Since the pool is already in ,when I replace this liner is it considered a repair? It does extend the life of the pool but without it the pool is non-functional. I can't find any info on this except that "a swimming pool is an improvement" but I'm not installing a new pool.Thanks
