But doesn't it stand to reason, as I've posted earlier, that the seller already knows the roof is a problem. They were offering 10K toward the roof. That basically means, "the roof needs to be replaced, we don't have the money to do it, but we will discount the house price so you can do it after you buy." I can't understand why the buyer would want proof the roof is fine if the seller already said it is not fine.
