I guess the thing is -- why are you upset about the test? They didn't ask you to pay for it, so except for the fact that you kinda have to tiptoe around it for a couple of days and not open the doors and windows more than necessary, why are you so torqued about it? You might be second-guessing the terms of the contract, but they have nothing to do with the tests that the buyer are paying to have done.
And if for some reason the deal falls through, you will at least be able to tell the next buyer that a radon test was done and what the levels were.

Yes, but my understanding is that the OP may not legally be able to share a writteb copy of the test with the next buyer since he didn't pay for it. YMMV. This may have to be agreed upon by the person who ordered and paid for the test. Just went through that myself and lucked out in the sense that my seller was quite amicable and the previous offer with a copy of the written test was in a good mood too
A radon test is a standard suggestion by the inspection company and the buyer's realtor. I wouldn't take it personally. Luckily we got our test done for $100 so its not a huge amount of money they could have used towards the closing costs.
I know I accepted the contract -- because their loan is all set to go and other than the closing cost request and inspections it actually has no contingencies. My realtor and her broker said that's a pretty "clean" offer.
Cgab -- to answer your question: I'm "bit chin'" because:
-- its one other thing to deal with and I wanted to vent…so I did (if that's OK with you)
-- Even though we got two offers in less than a week -- I had hoped for more offers (but this one was the better of two, and I want to sell so I took it based on what my realtor and her broker said above
-- they want to close by the of the month (so I will have listed and sold in less than a month)
So, yes while there are some positives for me, I still wanted more and better (like no or less closing costs requested) ….so flog me for wanting more…..
Well if you're confident the radon will come back normal then don't worry about it! It should all be done soon and you can move on.
You can still have radon in your home without a basement. That's not a big secret. Radon is crazy. It can be in your neighbors home, but not yours. Why are you worried about the test? The buyer is paying for it not you.

This.
It is one of standard tests included with a house inspection.
