The Inspection- Part 2

This morning, our REA met a chimney inspector at the house to see what the damage was to the chimney. I was nervous thinking it would be upwards of $2,000 and end up being a deal-breaker. After just 15 minutes of looking at the fireplace, the chimney sweep determined that all the fireplace and chimney needed was a good cleaning and some mortar repointing. Total cost: $285. W00T!

We decided we are asking the sellers to:
-Make the repairs to the chimney & fireplace
-Have a plumber check the small gas leak (this was in the inspection report but was not mentioned to us during the inspection)
-Have a plumber replace the flexible copper gas line to the dryer
-Have a plumber check and reseal the bathtub fixtures
-Replace the door to the garage with a fire-rater door
-Have an HVAC repairman check the issues with the furnace (this should still be under warranty)

Our REA thinks these repairs will cost the sellers about $750-800 total. Not too bad!

Now lets hope the snow melts and allows our inspector to go back to look at the roof. And that, when the snow melts, it doesn't cause any leaks or cracks.
