Lastly, as is the case in the sale of new construction, you can create a punch list with a prospective purchaser for those remaining items that need to be completed/repaired post closing.  

Odds are very good that the Owner may lose the case. In

I have read many negative reviews but have not found them to be the case in my experiences.

Let me broaden it to a hypothetical case in which the landlord's maintenance staff has attempted to repair plumbing in a vacant upstairs unit in a 40-unit building.

Although I have a mountain of evidence such as bills, an email from the utility proving they never established service, pictures, nothing found during pest inspections, etc. and would win a case in court, it's still stress and hassle, not to mention a lot of time lost.

If any remodeling is necessary (which is mostly the case in inner city Amsterdam) I arrange the complete construction process, from architectural drawings and municipality permit to selecting the right contractor and supervision up till the last key exchange. 

it could be the case in some- I think it’s really depend on the town and can’t be generalised.  

There isn't a set answer that will fit every case. In

But that isn't always the case in some models. 

Is there any way in the pre-approval process to plead your case in a written statement on why or how you would be able to pay for the mortgage?
