[QUOTE="Velderan, post: 9638076, member: 7038056"] When we sold our house in Maryland, we accepted an offer from a couple who paid to have an inspection. The inspector found some sand in the utility room and signs of water damage, so they asked what we knew. We explained the pipe into the house was leaking at one point and we had it replaced, but had no idea where the sand came from. We had only owned the house 3 years and had bought it from the estate of the previous owner so there were a lot of unanswered questions. We couldn't really tell them much about the history of the house beyond what was public record and what happened during our time living there. The buyers demanded a site survey on that side of the house and wanted to dig up the yard to check the drainage, all while continuing to spend money on things you've outlined above. They eventually ended up walking away when we refused to meet their demand and put the house back on the market. They probably spent a few thousand dollars and walked away with nothing, while we ended up finding easier to deal with buyers 2 weeks after it went back on the market. [/QUOTE]
