Lintels failing above windows

Scott McCloy

Posted
I just had a home inspection on a property I was going to purchase and it seems to be all of the lintels are failing above the windows. The cost to fix based on a quote seems to be around $40k. Not every one needs fixed right away but there are a few that are causing water to get in. The seller is even willing to reduce the asking price because of this issue. My question is: should I still consider this property if they reduce the price enough? Could there be a cheaper way to solve the issue? Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
