It is completely normal for any potential buyer to pay to have a home de-winterized so that they can proceed with their optional real estate inspection.
It is also completley normal for the potential buyer to have to RE-winterize the property after inspection until and unless they actually close on the home and it becomes theirs to occupy.
Foreclosed homes such as these are mainly sold "as is" and the bank-owner is not interested in making repairs or keeping utilities on while the home is trying to be sold.
For this reason, inspections are entirely for the owner's benefit and purchase and is at the buyer's own risk, so it is entirely up to the buyer to pay for and provide for whatever is necessary to his own inspection...including dewinterizing of the home and rewinterizing as needed. |
