Tips for Addressing the Defects Found in the Report
Before buying or selling a property, you need to have any defects remediated ASAP.
- For homebuyers, clearly call out the defects to sellers. Take time-stamped photos as evidence. Insist that sellers repair the defects or cover the cost.
- For sellers, fix the defects before putting the property for sale because you will be legally obligated to disclose those defects to homebuyers.
- For both homebuyers and sellers, hire a well-known and trusted contractor to address these defects. Don’t aim for quick fixes but lasting solutions.
