...but still a bit huffy. Prompted by a letter from the agent that we are entitled to an inspection of the property in the week leading up to settlement, we've tried to organise a time.
Now we're advised that because we went through the house two weeks after the sale (we hadn't viewed the house for two months before that), we have, in effect, already had that inspection.
I beg to differ. The walk-though we had was a condition of our offer since we hadn't seen the house in the weeks leading up.
How are we supposed to ensure that the house was in the same condition it was when we purchased? Do they expect us to settle on the property blind?
Big hmph.
Update:
We're going to get a half hour walk through at midday on 29/01/11. This is [mildly] better than a poke in the eye with a stick.
That's bollox. You are entitled to a final (that says final, not "one only post purchase") inspection to check that the condition of the thing you've spent the most money you'll ever spend on anything in your life is in fact, in the same state as it was when you agreed to purchase it. How dare they put a time frame on it. I don't know that is legal. You shouldn't be rushed.
ReplyDeleteOnce we're there, it's not like I'm going to give a hoot if there's someone standing by tapping their watch. I'll take as much time as I need. xS
