But I don't think the seller is obligated to pay for it since split bus

It seems way to common anymore for "home inspectors" to decide that
everything should be as if it were done last week according to current

Anything can be negotiated. But it is just plain silly for "home

If someone is buying a used house they typically are already paying a
lower price than a comparable new house.
