Mostly Small potatoes. However, as a prospective buyer, I would be checking permits for the Room Addition, Patio Cover and any Foundation Repair, all which need Permits. If no Permits were issued. A Big Discussion with the owner and Realtor will take place. Lol.
Having the service panel replaced with a proper wether head will take care of two problems. Post at patio replacement needed. Minor cracks and rising of pool deck weak and don’t need replacing. DIY window installation is a quick fix….
Let say if the buyer hire an inspector n there some issues to the home. Can a seller just not fix n lower the price at closing. Cuz no everyone have money to fix old house
The seller could lower the price if they were nice enough. But they usually are stubborn and will guve the house to the next buyer who won't be as picky. The seller is only required to take care of health and safety hazards (california). Not sure what other states are like.
It sometimes depends on the lender. We have had lenders who required that everything in the inspection report be repaired before they would approve the loan for closing.
The home inspector documents what they observe at the time of the inspection. If there was a leak in the first floor ceiling, at the time of the inspection,then the inspector should have taken photos and stated the water damage d ceiling in the report. And recommend a plumber to inspect and make repairs.The Home Inspector is not responsible for the condition, the operation, any hazards, damages,etc of any home they inspect.

The past 4yrs in Texas it's been a "take it or the next buyer,,, most likely from California will buy it".

When I bought 10 years ago, they fixed half the problems and dropped the price 1k and said that we have to fix the rest.
What do I do if my inspector failed to find a water leak in the shower coming down to the first floor 💧
Nothing you can do really
