When buying a house can the buyer ask for the seller to make repairs? The answer is yes, most of the time you can request repairs unless you have agreed to buy the property in "as is" condition. During the purchase transaction, there is a time period called due diligence. This time frame is when the buyer performs inspections to confirm the condition of the property. After the inspections have been performed, and during the due diligence time, a buyer may submit a repairs request form to the seller. This form allows buyers to request that repairs be made or that perhaps the seller credit the buyer money in lieu of repairs. The seller can choose to accept the request, counter offer another solution, or reject the repairs request. The buyer should be aware that even if the seller denies the petition, this will not jeopardize the transaction. Often buyers and sellers have to go back and forth in order to come to an agreement. If an agreement can not be made during this time, then the buyer has the right to cancel the transaction. Make sure that you choose a real estate brokerage that is skilled and understands the entire process and how to protect their clients.
