[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The cracked driveway will have no impact on your life, other than aesthetics.

Why is the electrical work necessary?

This is pretty typical for an older home. You have the right to negotiate on these items or walk away. [/quote]

Inspector says it is necessary.

Of course I have that right but I cannot negotiate with a "0"[/quote]

You tried. Their answer was no, this is an « as is » house. You can make a final offer « we want this price reduction or we walk », but you need to mean it. They, so far, have said that they are ready to see you go if you don’t meet their price because they believe the current price already factors all of this in.[/quote]

I have no problem walking away, leaving them with disclosable defects on the house and a stigma of a broken contract.

I just wanted to see if this bait and switch is normal in this region.  If so, I will look for a heavily discounted inspection that only looks at major structural issues.  In the past, both we and sellers always fixed some issues and paid out some money during the inspection process.  I am not a first time home buyer; this is my 4th home [/quote]

I dislike everything about the entire real estate industry and even I don’t get your accusation of “bait and switch”.   You have the right to request those repairs and they have the right to say no. [/quote]

I wanted to see how commonly sellers exercise the right to not fix anything and challenge the buyer to walk away in NoVa.  Seems like it is common.  This was a new experience for me.  [/quote]
