You can post the list of things the inspection found and we'll help you determine what to ask for - given the housing market in that neighborhood.

Brightwood.

The house is a flip. The biggest issue is that during installation it seems as if dampers weren't installed as part of the HVAC system so the basement gets a ton of cold air and the top floor very little.  This I don't think can be fixed without a major system overall.  So, I think we will ask for the seller to uncover a register that was accidentally covered (hard wood flooring) on that floor.  I'm not sure if we should ask for anything else in this regard.

We will ask for some roof flashing to be installed that really should have been there already.

The hot water tank is way too small for the number of beds and baths.  I don't know if we should ask for it to be changed or just see if they'll give us a credit to do it later.  I'd be okay either way but since it's not to code think it's something to be addressed.

Finally, since the seller likely has the contractor on hand I think we want to the little stuff righted (loose shower head fixed etc.) But this stuff isn't a deal breaker either.  I just figured it would be really easy for them to do given they are the ones who renovated.  I'm less sure about a couple cosmetic cracks in plaster and if we should ask to have those done too.

There is a safety railing missing that I might just let go.  We can figure out what we want there to keep kids safe when they are old enough for it to matter.[/quote]
