Were in a badly timed situation "The electric service entrance cables appeared to be in need of evaluation. The electrical grounding system wire for the hot water heater was not in use. A licensed electrician should be called to inspect the system." We're buying a house in Florida. We're supposed to close Monday but a hurricane is coming, were in central florida so downed trees and some wind is the threat really.. This is what was on my inspection report. The seller has had trouble getting an electrician out before Monday and offered to get the quote and pay the quote but the repairs would be scheduled after closing.
On the flip side, if we put off closing now, it'd be scheduled for the 12th.. If the storm hits, electricians might be pretty busy and the closing would be further delayed, the loan officer may have us pay for a new inspection and Appraisal and closing could be even further from the 12th.
We're renting and are supposed to be out on the 1st, 48 hours after the hurricane. Getting moved and into a temporary place could be an issue if we delay but we don't want to move into a place if what that inspection report mentions, is dangerous in some way. This timing stinks
