I’ve put in an offer for a house and initially offered $279k with $11k in seller concessions. Currently the offer is accepted and contigent with the inspection. I just got the home inspection report back, and a few of the issues are worrying me. My realtor is recommending asking the seller to cover a home warranty instead of negotiating repairs.

I’m trying to figure out the best way to handle this. Should I negotiate for them to fix it, go with the seller paid home warranty that my realtor recommended, or walk?

Some things that concerned me the most are in the attatched images directly from the inspection report

• The HVAC has not been tested due to a broken thermostat, I plan to test this before anything is final
• There is evidence of a roof leak in the kitchen, the roof has exposed nail heads as well
• There are flat areas and areas with grading issues around the foundation
• There is evidence of some settling including cracks in the masonry and a crack on a wall inside the home
• There is some degree of water damage present to the support posts on the porch
• The roof is missing kickout and drip edge flashing
• Some areas of soffit are unsecured
• The ASV cladding lacked proper clearance from grade and/or hardscape
• The HVAC unit was within three inches of the ground and has rust on the dog house
• The water heater has an active leak that is collecting water in the crawlspace
• The drainage for the tub in the master bath has a leak and is also collecting water in the crawlspace
• Some of the insulations is sagging, missing, or installed improperly
