(Note that my agent is already working on asking to get them to pay for it, I'm just asking for curiosity's sake.) I'm under contract for a house, and the appraisal went fine except that the water main was turned off. The seller (an actual person with an agent, not a REO) is doing this presumably to reduce utility costs during closing. It apparently slipped their mind to turn it back on for the appraisal (it was on for the inspection a week earlier, go figure). My lender is charging me a re-inspection fee. Is it within reason to request the seller to credit us the cost of this fee, or is this just "the cost of doing business" for a buyer? I read my contract (Maryland USA) and it didn't seem to have clear, specific language about what is required for the appraisal inspection. Edit - Just to add, it's my agent pushing to get the seller to pay for the fee, not me.…
