if this was prior to the building and pest inspection, yes I definitely would fix it, because the purchaser could pull out of the contract subject to the b/p clause. If it were after the b/p clause had expired, then maybe I would, maybe I wouldn't...
You are saying settlement in a few days, I'm assuming that means b/p has expired, so there is no impotus on the seller to fix your hot water system.
to murky the waters further, there is an inspection on settlement day to demonstrate the new owner is happy with the condition of the property, perhaps it needs to be brought to his attention then.
sorry this is so confusing, I hope you get some hot water soon!
ok, just to give you a better idea of the overall situation..
house was put on the market last year, round oct, i then recived notice that unless the house was sold, the mortage company were taking possession, owners droped the price and had a buyer in nov, but was "sold pending settlement" for feb 16th. building inspection was monday just gone, they were (the agent) hoping to get someone to fix it the same time as the inspection, but had to clear with the owner.
ive had other issues in the past, toilet flooding, main water hose bursting, all fixed immedieatly, ive also had a problem with the front door, i HAVE to have the wooden one shut, as the "secutrity" door pops open, it wasnt a issue so told them it was non urgent in the begining, but dd can no crawl, and if i leave the big door open for the air, she gets out the front UNNOTICED so they red flagged it for immedieate as well, but still nothing on it either, so im thinking they are not going to do a thing, and i will end up waiting till settlement and have to get it all done with the new owners...
ETA yeah its sold under the condition i stay untill a min of september, when i signed to origional lease till.

Yes we had that happen a few weeks before the new owners took over and we moved out but the hot water just got fixed (should have been a new one even the electrican said so )
but as the change over was happening I think they wanted a quick fix. But they did fix it imediatly for us. On another note the real estate asked why dont we buy it as its cheap lol but having lived there for three years we knew all the repairs that had to be done and the costs no way
ive called consumers about ALOT of things, but because of the sale, and mortagee repossesion they say its a very rare & sticky situation and with out knowing the legality of exactly what is going on (i only know what im told from the agent) then they cant give me 100% clear info.
if i were to pay for it myself, id have to use the rent money, then face termination notice for non payment of rent!
