Hi, I am sorry this is off topic again but I get really good advice from this board!!!
Anyway, I am buying a new house and the actual home inspection came out great and radon was a little high. But now both the septic and well systems have to be replaced. It sounds like this really irritated the sellers but we went ahead and asked them to put the money in escrow for replacement of both these systems. They feel we are being unreasonable but we paid top dollar for this house and I feel these are 2 very big items.
Are we being unreasonable? Isn't this how most people would have handled this?? I am new to septic and well but I don't feel like I should have to put the new systems in just to by the house.
