[quote=Canadian]Thanks a lot CA renter for your comments. We did the inspection, and found just some minor issues. We know from the disclosures that several years ago some pipe leaks have been repaired and piad by the insurance. The fact that they happened long time ago and were handled by the insurance should put our mind at ease, we have been told.[/quote]
If the leaks were from polybutylene pipe, you need to find out if ALL the plumbing between the walls was replaced with copper after the final payment to each affected homeowner in the state in the settlement of the class-action suit (1994).
If only the “visible” plumbing was replaced, or partial plumbing replaced in only the wall that burst, I would not buy the property.
Just my .02.
edit: Canadian, what is the exact year this home was built? This info will clarify things. Thx.
