Post-Appraisal repairs look like s***!!!! Help!!!
Upstate NY, $330,000 duplex, 6.75%
After our first appraisal, the seller (a local developer) agreed to fix what was noted on said appraisal. This included a chimney repair (not pictured), chipped paint (caused by ripping vines off the siding) and clapboard that was eaten by the vines. Awesome!
They were supposed to be finished with repairs two weeks ago. i just got these photos today. They spray painted OVER the vine residue and replaced like 4 boards in the back. they should have sanded the boards. You can see they only went halfway up the house with repairs and there are still broken boards and chipped paint towards the top. They also got red paint allllll over the white trim!!! It honestly looks worse than before and will require more work from me to fix it.
My realtor said to have my lawyer ask for a sellers concession of $2k, but frankly, i’m so mad and want to get whatever i can take. The seller had the resources to do this on time and correctly and did neither. She also said it will probably pass bank reappraisal, but can’t promise. The plan is to side in the next few years, but I don’t want it to look like shit in the meantime.
Does anyone have any advice on how much i should ask for or if $2k is a reasonable amount? Thank you for any advice ❤️ So disappointed and just need some support!
