Maybe the owner would be agreeable to splitting the cost of the boiler/water heater.  What is the harm in asking.  It seems that the worst thing that could happen is that the buyer says no.  Is it just better to walk away?[/quote]

OP Here.

I want to ask for a credit, but my agent has said if I ask, they will void the contract. I'm trying to figure out if they can really void the contract WITHOUT giving us some sort of warning, like "How dare you ask for a credit for those repairs, we will void a contract in 3 days unless you agree to buy the house with all that's broken!".

We love the house, we just think there is quite a few things that's in need of repair and that the seller should credit us for it. Of course, we don't want to ask for a credit if they are able to immediately cancel the contract and go with another buyer.[/quote]

OP seller here (not of your house) YES! They will void the contract. BTDT. The agent is listening to the seller who is in a Sellers market. The seller is saying "...so void the contract and go on to the next person. We don't care..." The agent is probably trying to make them care, but they don't. You are in real danger of losing the house. LISTEN to your agent, or be prepared to find another house. It is likely that the Seller is not bluffing. What they are doing is not caring.[/quote]
