Repairs after inspection. Who pays?
I’m currently in the process of buying my first 3 family home. They accepted my offer I paid for the home inspection and we found that 4 of the structure beams in the basement need replacing(4500$) and the chimney needs pointing(1500). The seller was the one who got the quotes for the property and said he will give a 2000$ credit for the basement work. I’m not sure what I should do. I really didn’t want to pay for these repairs. Who should be responsible for repairs before closing?
