So today we got the information back on what needs to be repaired! I feel like things are moving as slow as molasses, but as long as we get in by the beginning of August I'll be happy :) There were seven things that need to be fixed:
1. Repair of the defective paint – 1974 house, some of the exterior paint is chipping and needs touch up. Easy!!
2. Cleaning and/or replacement of soiled carpeting – bedrooms only. We are planning on replacing the carpet prior to moving in and our broker told us that could be done after closing within a week, then have the appraiser come out to confirm completion. Easy!!
3. Repair of the cabinets – there are some drawers and doors missing – that can also be done after closing. Not as easy, but still yay!!
4. Replacement of outlet covers – um hello EASY!!
5. Repair of drywall and interior painting – we were planning on painting also prior to moving in and there is only one hole in the drywall that needs repair. This is also something she said could be done after closing. Super easy!
6. Repair of siding damage – there is some dry rot on the siding in the back, we can’t do this ourselves and it has to be done prior to closing L The seller will have to do this and they may take away some of our closing costs credit because of it!
7. Roof inspection by contractor and treatment of any/all moss on the roof – again we can’t do that ourselves and it has to be done prior to closing.
So really only 2 things that would cost significant amount of money that could be taken from our closing costs. Hopefully it won’t cost too much to do all those repairs!
