Super excieted... have new house undercontract.....

[pretends2bnormal]

UGH...… the deal fell through. The house had an illegal electrical box they refused to replace. Look up Federal Pacific fuse boxes.

The house will not pass inspection with this in place.

If they refuse to replace it entirely, then they'll never sell that house (which I assume isn't their goal).

Are they just refusing to pay for the replacement costs? (Rather than refusing it being done regardless of who foots the bill)

We worked similar sorts of repairs (ones that would fail inspection without being fixed) into the deal for my house when I bought. We just adjusted who pays how much of the closing fees vs paying the repairs and arranging them. If they're protesting paying to do it, that might work out if you really like this place.

Otherwise, there will be other houses, I'm sure. Bummer to have this happen either way though.
