Don't sellers have any responsibilities for what they are selling in the US? Certainly in Sweden it is the sellers responsibility to disclose any known problems to the buyer and they're financially responsible for any problems they fail to disclose.
The only homes to have any sort of clawback are new constructions. Which are warrantied for about a year.
Having a brand behind a flipped house could assuage some of those fears.
There is a market for home inspectors to prevent the purchase of a property with issues.
I have yet to hear of anyone having a civil or criminal suit taken against them due to issues with a property (not saying it hasn’t occurred—just that I don’t know of it occurring).
Frankly, I'd just love an affordable service that takes care of regularly scheduled house maintenance tasks without breaking the bank.
I've read a lot of online horror stories where people buy flipped homes only to realize they bought a lemon. Houses with shoddy construction work, code violations, and the new owners are stuck with tens of thousands of $ in repairs.
Home inspections help, but they don't catch everything. Anything inside the walls, such as poor plumbing/electric work, are unlikely to be flagged.
I'd be happy to pay a 0.5% to 1% premium on the sales price to be assured the people who renovated this house followed local housing code, used proper construction procedures, and used decent materials.
