What stops you from buying a house?

Andrew Rellinger
Posted

Here is my situation. I've been under contract for a house for 5 months now. Seller agreed to remidate mold. Inspection still found significant mold spores in the air of the bathroom and visible black mold in crawl space below bathroom - No concern because I was planning on ripping the bathroom to the studs and replacing the subfloor anyways. After agreeing on concessions, seller is having plumber fix HWT. In the process, plumber found big fruiting mushroom because it is fall time at this point. Based on my mycology knowledge there could be mycelium all throught many joists in the crawl space. Since seller agreed to remediate mold, they could still be held accountable for this. It's going on month 5 of being under contract and could take 5 more months to remove the mold based on the current track record of the seller. Not sure there is anything to do to completely remove the mycelium networks (the ones that are not visible).


• What would you do in this case? Back out? 

• If you were new to the game what makes or breaks decisions for you? Do you just go by the numbers, or is there a gut feeling?

• What do you do when the selling process seems to be taking forever?
