Lender-owned prop requiring buyer to pay for de-winter?

06/02/2005 10:39 AM kmdahl

Hi,
I'm buying a lender-owned property. The title company is requesting that we pay to have the house de-winterized. The maintenance company who is "maintaining" the house while it is on the market requires that we pay a $300 fee to have the house de-winterized/water turned on. The majority of those I talk to say this is an odd request and that all that is really involved in the de-winterization is turning on a valve. Am I being ripped off by this request? Also, the maintenance company recommends us to re-winterize the house once the inspection is through. It is June in Colorado though, and we're reluctant to follow through with the request as there is no chance of the pipes freezing now. Any thoughts?
