Now I have a shell, which I love, and it will be clean. But someone's got to help me," Forsythe said.
*sigh*
$1:
Forsythe said she did not get the home inspected before purchasing it,
well, that was smart.
$1:
but she did go in with contractors, engineers and architects several times before the handover and no one noticed anything wrong.
of course, they are all being paid for other things.
$1:
Now, she said she will likely have to sue the previous owner.
good luck with that, she would have to PROVE the previous owners / agents KNEW there was a problem.
Her agent should have forced her to get an inspeciton... 500 dollars could have saved this problem.

She shelled out a million dollars for the place, but she couldn't afford a measly $500? Boo hoo....too bad. We bought an 'olderish' place in River Heights, and the inspector found a few spots where there was some older wiring, that 'could have' posed a possible fire threat. The previous owner had everything up to snuff on the second inspection.

Hey, Canadian mice gotta stay warm too, you know. Has this whining crank no compassion for the animal world ??

You can't get a home inspection in this market. If you make an offer that requires one, you don't get the house.

Strange, I worked in banks for 23 years and we NEVER accepted a mortgage without a home inspection... NEVER.

I didn't have my (older) home inspected before I bought it, and I came fresh from another country. No problem getting it amortized.

Manitoba market must be just a rockin if the sellers are calling the shots.
I would never buy without someone at least having a look at the basics.

Yeah, that must be quite a boon to the construction industry, because if I couldn't get an inspection on an existing property, I'd just build my own place instead. Spending a couple of hundred grand basically sight-unseen? Crazy.

If the seller has 25 offers, and 24 want an inspection, one does not, whose offer do you think will get accepted?
As a seller, you ALWAYS call the shots.

Yet another black mark against pot prohibition!
End the madness!

Have a Snickers Bar, Curt, you turn into a whiny tool when you're hungry.
Besides, like you said in another thread, people need to be reminded of this constantly. Why you whine about it now is.....puzzling.

FOOL. You always inspect properties you buy, it's freaking common sense. If they refuse your demand for an inspection, you laugh at their face and leave.

Right... I would NEVER buy without one and if I was a bank, I would never mortgage without it either.
