buyer beware
I had a house along elm street, currently listed at 165,000, professionally inspected. My inspection identified deterioration of the stone foundation, including missing/displaced stones and deteriorated or missing mortar. It also identified a deteriorated footing supporting a structural post and pooling water in the basement. The inspector recommended further professional evaluation. I requested that the foundation concerns be addressed, but the seller declined to undertake the repairs or lower the price. I decided not to proceed on those terms. The issues weren't even included in the property disclosure statement. Anyone considering the property should obtain their own independent inspection.
