Get an expert to evaluate the foundation, ask the seller about the

This is getting nuts.

Why would THIS foundation be any better if the house had NOT been
rebuilt. What evidence is there that there is anything WRONG with it.
The present house has been there how long????

At this point the Buyer needs to demonstrate that they will suffer
some harm from the foundation being older. They need to show they
were harmed by not finding this out earlier.

Okay so maybe they can get out of the contract if they squawk enough.
But to me expecting to continue to buy but get a lower price is a
little much. Who knows, maybe the Seller is highly motivated and
would make a concession to save the sale. But maybe not.

I am not seeing a problem here. There *could* be one under some
far-fetched scenario, but what is it besides speculation here.
