Hello BP family,I'm in contract for a home built in 2021, upon the home inspection it was found that about 1/4 of the roof has these defected shingles that have a line/minimal crack through them.

Are these items actually defective or old and need to be replaced?

Other things to research ::: Intentionally defective grantor trust (IDGT) along with a large intrafamily loan, especially if the relationship is grandparent and grandchild.

Somebody wanting to sue for you backing out of a bad deal or accusing you of selling them a property with defects like unknown termite damage).

Not knowing the offer/inspection contingency terms, would generally seem that if you don't want the property due to these items, it would be time to give the seller a notice of defects you object to and if they have a right to cure in the WI Offer, they can agree to fix those items before closing and move along or tell you they won't fix them and the deal is dead (or if they weren't given the right to cure defects, the deal would be dead) but again, would need your agent knowing the terms to discuss with you or an attorney or advice from both. 

I'm an attorney and have familiarity with real estate law, contracts, negotiation, and practice has included construction defect litigation.  

Evictions are very code driven, and the statutes are pretty favorable to LLs so any defect is interpreted in T's favor. 

That is not someone who you should engage in a transaction like this with where another problem could leave you with massive liability and an unsellable investment due to a title defect. 

This is where they will list every known defect of the property. 3) Ask to see a pre-list inspection if they did one.

One payment covers you for the entire time you own the property against title defects.
