Default Spalling chimney bricks

EVERYTHING is NEGOTIABLE!

Obviously this MUST be fixed

Is it a working chimney for a fireplace or just a furnace hot water
tank chimney. How old ios the home? All brick chimney or flue liner?
Did the contractor camera inspect the interior or just look from the
ground?

Try telling the seller you will split the cost of repairs..........

how is the general condition of the remainder of the home.

if they are motivated sellers they will likely split the cost of
repairs.


*******************************************
The house is 36 years old. It is a wood burning fireplace with a terra
cotta liner that is fine. The overall condition of the house is
relatively good. They are replacing the gas furnace along with a bunch
of other smaller electrical/plumping issues.

You say it MUST be fixed - what argument can I give them since it's not
safety/health concern (even if trying to convince them to split the
cost)?

Thanks all for your help!!!!!
