e*****e 发帖数: 143 | 1 最近看中一套房子并且递了offer,请inspector检查下来后发现房子plumbing有问题。
房子是两层的townhome,1968年的老房子。一楼客厅天花板有修理过水管的痕迹,估计
曾经出过毛病。inspector说老房子用的水管材料比较差,年久容易被腐蚀生锈,造成
漏水或者管道变细。查下来也确实发现厨房水龙头出水很小。二楼的厕所冷水还竟然不
出来。检查了disclosure,发现房子今年3月有出过sewer堵塞并报修疏通的记录。其余
关于那个天花板的痕迹却没有提及。
房子虽然老,但是其他方面都还不错,本人很希望拿下来。但是旧水管在将来会有很大
隐患,很容易随时损坏,造成昂贵的修理费用。并且水压小在生活使用上会造成舒适感
降低。
请问各位过来人,像这样的情况该怎么处理?能否让房主多降点价或者让他多买几年的
房屋内部的保险? | k*********h 发帖数: 1841 | 2 你可以找做rehab的人,给整个房子的维修估一下价。因为老房子不仅是水管的问题,
还有AC的剩余使用年限、屋顶年限、breaker panel, wiring, 热水器高度等等。这些
东西虽然不影响你现在的使用,但是很多老房子都不符合legal coding.对你以后的出
租和出售都有影响。
按现在的房事,估计你要还价是很难了。但是多花100多刀可以让你心里更踏实些。知
道这个房子买的是否值得。 | i*******3 发帖数: 310 | 3 Minor plumbing issue should be the last thing of your concern when you buy a
house. Plumbing work is not expensive to fix at all, and problems are
inevitable due to age. Make sure you have decent insurance, and spend some
time and money to fix existing issues.
I had bathtub plumbing leaks, kitchen plumbing leaks and etc. They ruined my
drywalls, but these were very cheap to fix. Insurance reimbursements
covered everything, and $0 came out of my own pocket.
It's not wise to give up a house with small problems and then ending up with
months and months more of house hunting. |
