Don't close if the AC is not working. I wouldn't worry about the cockroaches. Don't let them offer to buy a home warranty. It probably won't cover the AC or anything else. You won't lose your deposit if the AC doesn't work.

Note: If the HVAC system is more than 12-15 years old, you may want to offer to split the cost with the seller for a new system. The seller's half should be deducted from the selling price at the closing.

You sales agreement will answer your question. But in general there are two options. Fix the problems or cancel the sale and refund your deposit.

This is a troll. Heartnsoul has many threads with similar posts about closing inspection issues. Just look at her history. Moderators need to look at this! I just reported the post.

This person has been in the process of buying a home IF you were to look at their posts. I’m confused by what you think the definition of troll is? ( online bully is the definition) This person is definitely not a troll. They’re looking for answers but in the wrong place. This is TOTV, the most UN-friendly site attached to the villages with the majority of the members not even living here.

She’s had like 3 or 4 threads in the past few weeks. Each with some different inspection issue and asking what to do. There was the water under the foundation, and some other one that something wasn’t fixed. If she is really buying 3 houses and all of them had inspection issues then I stand corrected and apologize.

Maybe I’m wrong about one of them. Just looked again. The reason might be because she had 3 threads all for the same water issue last time.

That is not what a "troll" is. It has nothing to do with being a "bully". "Cyber bullying" is complete other category.

This particular OP seems to be involved in a number of discussions regarding "home inspections".

Questions. Did you hire a home inspector? Do you have an attorney representing you? Did you use VLS, which doesn’t represent the buyer, or an MLS realtor (I’m assuming it’s a pre-owned home since it has the issues you described)?

If you don’t have an attorney representing you, then you need to retain one ASAP. Hopefully you used an MLS realtor and have a buyers agent agreement and they can help you. I’m really hoping you didn’t just use the sellers Villages real estate agent and rely on a the sellers closing attorney, with no one representing you. Best of luck.

Hrd to believe anyone buys a home here and does not use an inspector
