Inspector found cracking in tile along bathroom floor - what is typical recourse?
Hi everyone,
I'll get right to it. I had a home inspection yesterday for a place that I just went into contract on last week. During the inspection we found a thin but noticeable crack trailing from the bathroom door to the bathtub.
I'm not very familiar with the home buying process so I wanted some guidance on what is done typically and what YOU would do as well: Is this something that is typically brought up in negotiations following the inspection? Does the seller usually pay for this or include a credit that approximates the amount of replacement? Should I just eat the cost myself?
Thanks!

Houses have 2 kinds of cracks. Structural and cosmetic. If the crack is structural then you should make the seller fix the underlying structural defect.
If it is just a cosmetic crack then it is up in the air as to who will end up paying for it.
Most tile floors with any age on them have cracks.Your Outer Banks real estate agent. Learn how to buy Outer Banks foreclosures.
