The HVAC duct needed some major repairs
My wife and I looked at several houses before we found a site that made us guess twice.
It was $200,000 over our budget, but I actually wanted the beach house in the hills.
It had a great view of the valley and it was situated in a neighborhood that was up and coming, then before we close on the house, our wife and I had a supplier go to the beach house to perform a full inspection on the inside and outside of the house. The people I was with and I did not guess what to expect from the inspection report and some of the items were very surprising. One of the most surprising items was the fact that the HVAC duct needed to be replaced. The beach house was only 15 years old, but the inspector said there was a lot of disfigure from rodents. He did not see any evidence of rodents inside of the house, but the HVAC duct issues needed to be addressed. The cost for the repairs was going to be a significant amount of cash. The people I was with and I had some other items as well that made us rethink the amount we were offering on the house. The people I was with and I asked the owner to deduct some of these expenses from the final price, so we could have the repairs made. The owners surprised our wife and I when he agreed to lower the price of the house, then even though the HVAC duct needed some major repairs, everything worked out perfectly. The people I was with and I closed on the beach house about multiple weeks after we got the final report from the inspector and our wife and I were able to make all of the changes to the heating and A/C idea as soon as we moved into the house.
