The two of us thought our search for the perfect current home was finally over.
- It had been over several weeks plus twenty something houses plus the two of us were just ready to end the madness.
Most homes were either extravagant or complete dumps. Some of the owners had gone to superb lengths to cover up problems but the current home inspector the two of us hired was nice at searching them out plus allowing us to avoid disaster. When the two of us finally found an awesome house, in the perfect location, the two of us couldn’t assume our luck. The current home inspector went through the whole thing plus didn’t unquestionably see any purple flags so told us the two of us were ok to proceed. The two of us busy the final walk through plus the closing would be 2 afternoons later. During that final walk through I noticed that there was a small spot of water on the basement floor. The owner said that they had spilled something moving some final items so I didn’t unquestionably think much of it. Then, when the two of us were looking over the papers at closing, our attorney noticed an asterisk next to the furnace notes. There was not explanation under it so she asked what that meant. The owners looked obviously concerned at that point plus I got an exhausting feeling in the pit of our stomach. The sellers then admitted that the water spot I had seen was a result of a leak in the boiler system. They had it repaired but they could not guarantee that the two of us would not have issues in the near future. Neither our wifey or I wanted any headaches from the HVAC system as it is 1 of the most valuable items in your home, however it was back to the search plus the two of us walked away from that deal.
