Realtor Friends - When you are working with a buyer and the house has a septic system, do you suggest that they have the septic tank on the property pumped and inspected before the purchase? Why or why not?
Answered by:
I don't usually have the seller do it prior to putting it on the market for sale, however, I have requested that the septic be pumped and inspected. If seller does not pay then I recommend my buyer pays for it. Too many times there are problems discovered, with the leach lines or the septic. It can be costly. A inspection runs approx. $500.00.
