[QUOTE="Voltwings, post: 16086923, member: 155561"] My wife and I are currently in the process of building - not that I think it's related to your particular scenario, but this is just how my brain acts in this situation. 1. As others have mentioned, this was a new construction that failed septic? Is this in a neighborhood or a one-off custom build? What's this builders reputation? 2. What made this house cost $450k to begin with? Location? Prestige? Amenities? Fixtures? Sounds like a lot of the interior was damaged, so if you're replacing it all yourself you're really just going to spend all of that money anyways right? It's not like you're actually getting a deal on the place. 3. Permits, zoning, and code. It sounds like there have already been inspections done, but I've heard more than one horror story of a hlip gone wrong because they just got bogged in zoning permits and code permits and this that and the other. These builders have teams of people to handle these things usually... Now, I openly admit I am a pretty pessimistic person and tend to not take risks of this nature. Your results absolutely may be positive and it will be a great thing for your family, I just tend to plan on worst case scenario to be safe. [/QUOTE]
