Had to recreate my post to add additional pics. Is this basent wall anything to be worried about? The house inspection didn't red flag anything in the house...but in the basement said there's normal vertical cracks at places and parge coat on the exterior may eventually need redone. Always seller claims it was a grading issue, and his landscapers took care of it. I just don't want this to be a big issue, as if I walk away I don't get my earnest money back, then again I'd rather lose 2k than 350k on a house with big problem. House was built in 2015 in NE Ohio (stark) realtor and inspector both claim its repaired and ok, but I don't really put a ton of trust in them . Issue is only on one basement wall, and at below both basement windows on that side. (There are no window wells) thanks in advance!

Hello,

Any help with this issue is greatly appreciated. I have an offer pending on this house, I just had an inspection last week and nothing major was flagged...though multiple low and mid tier things need fixed. Perhaps I'm reading too much into this. But this basement wall scares me, looks like it had or has had two leaks both on the same side of the house...both by both basement windows (south side of house) house inspector says it was because of the grade in the exterior mulch beds. My realtor claims it was fixed and adjusted by the owner weeks ago. But is it normal for it to look like this? Does look normal for a supposed mulch grading issue? Just very hesitant and may not get my earnest money back if I back out. But I'd rather be out 2k versus 350k. This is in NE Ohio...House was built in 2015. Thanks for any help. I've added pics of exterior (where the two basement windows are...there are no window wells installed as windows are above grade...I think I said that right lol)
