Selling house and buyer can’t get insurance

[Ty Gordon]

I am currently selling a home. I bought in 2012 and had no issues getting insurance. The current buyer can not get insurance because of the age of the home (85 years). The owner before me was a do it yourselfer and updated the plumbing and wiring. It all inspects good but there were never permits pulled. Any advice on finding an insurance company that will insure? Also I think I know but why did I have no issue in 2012 and now the new buyer is getting hoop after hoop to jump through?
