<prompt> Human: Hi Im currently have an offer accepted on a house. The home inspection came up clean, but the sewer scope showed that about 40 of sewer line was old cement pipe. It didnt have any major blockage, but there were multiple breaks in the line, and a rock starting to come through in one area. The sellers got a quote saying this will be a 15k replacement, and they are refusing to pay for the repair themselves. I dont feel it is unreasonable to demand that this be fixed, and Im already paying a little over asking price for the house. Maybe the sewer will hold up for years, but whos to say the person I try to sell the house to later on wont demand that it be replaced as well. Im in a semi-competitive market so maybe someone will come along who wont care, but thats a big risk. Am I being unreasonable to ask for a repair this expensive, or should I walk away from the deal?Edit: To complicate things a bit, the sewer runs underneath a shared driveway, which would supposedly require a legal agreement with the neighbors to work on. Not sure Id want to deal with this myself. Assistant: Ask them to lower the price by 15K, and if applicable in your jurisdiction remind them that they will legally be required to disclose this known issue to any future potential buyers who will be just as displeased as you are upon hearing this. If they dont budge, walk away.Human: Thought about this, but lowering the price only saves me a little each month, and the sewer is a ton of money out of pocket if it fails. Im almost more inclined to raise the price 15k and demand that they do the repair, but then I think im overpaying. Also who knows what extra costs come into play while the job is being done. Id much rather everything be done and settled before I move in. Looks like Ill be walking away from this one.  <response>: If you raise the price 15k and they do the fix, you are paying for the entire thing. Not to mention that the bank likely wont approve your loan for an additional 15k over what the home is already assessed at. As somebody who just went through this process, walk away. I put an offer in and found later that all of the siding had to be replaced. That was 20k I wasnt interested in paying. The sellers werent either so I found a nicer house and left them to deal with it.
