We've got two discussions going.
On the technical side, you've had responses as to the suitability of the service.
More important is the 'business' side. This is where electricians run from realtors; we know all too well that the 'horrible' things we find will become perfectly acceptable the moment a deal is struck.
The seller isn't about to fix anything; for them, it's all about price- and time. Otherwise, no promises, no guarantees, and complete ignorance will be claimed over every unpleasant surprise. Yup, it's perfectly reasonable to expect YOU to live in a house that's falling down.
Indeed, the discussion begins to resemble the Monty Python skit about the dead parrot ("He's not dead, he's sleeping" ... "But he's nailed to the perch!")
You have to face every flaw with two questions:
1) Is it a deal killer?: and,
2) What's it worth to me?
You need to keep in sight YOUR goals, and be ever ready to WALK AWAY. Right up to the moment when you hand over the check.
