Can you request for inspections or repairs with a short sale purchase? Well…yes, but don’t expect an answer. Many times the lender wants to sell the home “as is” and will not put in any money for repairs or inspections.
The bank or lender is selling the property for less money because there are no funds and the bank is losing money with this investment. Requesting repairs or inspections makes the bank lose even more money. But you can still write in the offer these requests to see if they are approved. There is always an exception and if the bank is desperate they will throw in some extra cash to get the property off their books.
