[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The staircase rails weren’t to code. Realtor told us, “oh, the same family has owned since ‘89, the family owns a plumbing business” - figured there was a lot of unlicensed work done over the last 30 years that we didn’t want to untangle. This was last year where inspections were being waived left and right in our market. [/quote] Stair rail codes change all the time, so don't be surprised if a house built in 2001 has rails that are technically "out of code" - means very little. A lot of "unlicensed work" is to code it just was done without pulling permits. You can hire your own inspector and then use any major defaults as the reason to walk away from a contract. I'd like to see any seller hold back the EMD for structural, electrical, or plumbing defaults. [/quote]
