KLsooner: I agree with you in regards to most of the things you mentioned, except for the roof.

We unfortunately didn't plan for the roof replacement. I have indeed factored in the wet works, water pipes, etc,  thus am not complaining about the rest of the condition. Usually, subsale from what I've known, you don't have to fix the roof (or at worst, minor / major leakage which can be sealed, fixing some rafters etc. which is minimal). I reckon that if there has been termite infestation that has occurred, it would be a good heads up if informed as well as part of the deal, especially the roof which is something you don't really inspect when you look at a house, and you can almost never fully assess the full extent of termite infestation damage.

However, it certainly is starting to be a very expensive lesson. I'm considering the cost of changing / replacing of the roof in now, and see how my decisions goes.

One last thing, can I just know, if anybody else is a subject expert on what happens to the 2% depo which gets forfeited?

Thanks.
