[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'd pass on this one. They were forced to disclose because you can see the water in the basement photos. It's unbelievable to me that this is just some 10k-20k fix. Any sane realtor would've told them to take care of it, knowing the price hit would be greater. It's a 1.4M house ffs.[/quote] I think you just haven’t been through it with a house before. The basement is unfinished. The homeowners probably just didn’t sweat it. They may not have the cash to do it before the sale. If the basement is finished, it’s a huge PITA. It’s not finished, so if you buy this house and you want the basement dry, you can either dig exterior drains or do interior drains (they’re both “outside” the house, it’s just weather they are on one side or the other of the wall). Or, you can start by checking/extending the gutters. I don’t think that will work but there’s no harm in the meantime except maybe wet toes for laundry. [/quote]
