BOA second inspection after Irene

We were supposed to close on Friday, but since our home inspection was before Irene, Bank of America (our buyer's bank) is sending a "hurricane inspector" to  re-inspect just for storm damage. He's inspecting 35-40 houses a day. They estimate our close will be delayed a week, which I imagine means two weeks in bank time.

Anyone else in the same boat? We are lucky that we don't close on our new home for another 3 weeks plus have no storm damage, but I can't imagine how much I'd be sweating it if we had a piggy back close!

Re: BOA second inspection after Irene

  • We didn't close on time because we're waiting on repairs. We were supposed to close on the 25th, so we missed the hurricane! I went to check on the house today myself. Seems like it stood up well, just some large branches in the yard.
  • We were also just informed of another inspection because of Irene. So annoying!! I have no idea when we will close now....our closing has been pushed back once already! This is the never ending process!!

  • That really sucks.  I'm sorry!
  • We were just informed of another inspection as well and a possible re-apprasial.  We had already driven by the house on the way back to our current house (we had to evacuate because of the hurricane).  It looked perfectly fine but we are going today to check out the inside to make sure there was no water/flooding damage.  

    I have never been so happy for a process to be taking forever, I would have been a wreck owning two houses getting hit by the hurricane.
  • We were told that we needed a second appraisal because of the hurricane.

  • We went by to check out the house ourselves today because the bank said we could sign paperwork that said we had looked at the house and saw no visible hurricane damage and they would not require the extra assessment which would cost us money.

    Turns out that was not the case at all because the assesor was there when we went.  I think he was in the house about 10 minutes, it made me sick what little he did and got paid for :(  Now there are reports of another hurricane they better hurry up because I am not paying AGAIN!

    On the bright side the house was bone dry!  YAY!
