Price was high and the inspector put a screw through wires in the electrical panel. I heard him…read moreyell because of the shock. He said that everything was fine. When my son put the electric bill in his in name for the the condo, he was told to flip the main breaker. It would not fip back and we called our electrician to fix it. He needed to splice wires, it was a simple repair but the bill was $260, for travel, parts time etc. I'm going to bill the insurance company for First In but he also missed a lot of expensive repairs needed. My son was a first time buyer, he is smart but never knew what to look for in his purchase, trusted the realtor (and he is an ok guy but needed to make the sale, my son acted too quickly and I really dislike the unit, others in a similar price range seemed well maintained and updated. He was shown 3, told that was usually the way it is done and never negotiated anything (he's a scientist and pretty much focused on little else, needed a roof over his head and acted too quickly.) So he passed up places that had newer windows, updated kitchens, etc in the same price range . I'm also looking for a condo so I saw those choices but he'd already started the process (he's an adult and I wasn't involved but I have bought real estate before and knew a little bit about what to look for when "investing in a home".) He didn't have a clue and grad student places are what he was used to so here we are. I'm unhappy with the inspection because I immediately saw things that weren't mentioned so here we are. He'll lose money when he sells because it's not worth it for him to update or replace torn screens but it really needs new windows and doors. And flooring. Sigh. He'll live with it until he gets married and sells. Oh well. I'm the one who fixed everything in here so I learned by my mistakes. He'll do the same.

The report was very long and detailed, so I thought everything was fine. Then I moved in and couldn't use my upstairs bathroom because of a leak so bad that a wall needs torn out and stained (hopefully didn't mold!) the brand new carpet), and I didn't have a stove for months because of electrical issues. He did mention capping the gas line right next to it to use electric but completely neglected the outlet so electric wasn't possible. We wasted money on a second stove initially thinking the first was the problem. There are also still two bad breakers!
