Wake n Bake, Nothing Better!

I did, I got it inspected twice, and have it signed and dated that the seller would repair the things wrong before the sale date. They willfully lied and even faked a receipt. I just don't WANT to deal with it...
Yeah, it's never a good idea to have a seller do a repair. Never. They are always going to do it as cheaply as they possibly can. It's always better to get your own estimate to correct the problem, and then ask for a credit at closing so YOU can have the repair done right once you own it. Or you could have had their work inspected before closing. Even then there are no guarantees, and there are usually hidden surprises once repairs begin.

I'm sorry you are dealing with problems though. Hopefully it's nothing too serious.

You might have a chance in court though, if you can prove they lied and faked a receipt....and then have it done right yourself. Or better yet, have your lawyer send them a letter and ask for them to do the right thing and give you some money back....Going to court absolutely sucks!!

There are almost always a few hidden surprises on any house, even a brand new one.

Yeah, luckily I have lots of pictures. And I save all my emails. I am pretty sure I'll get what I want, it just comes down to how much of my summer it wastes, and how much I have to pay out of pocket beforehand, in order to prevent further damage while I wait.
