You can also have seller put money in escrow to deal with this but it would have to be a lot of money!

Yes, it would be to today's code.

Good luck!
You should ask for enough for a worst case scenario, which is a tear down and rebuild.

thanks. I dont believe there is plumbing involved. not sure I want to go the escrow route, or even if the bank will allow that.

Depending on where rates sit at the time, it can be costly to extend your rate if you extend the contract.

Give yourself time, but don't let anyone knownthat but you and your mortgage co. Not even your realtor. Light a fire under the sellers ass to get this done.
Very good point, thanks. Cant I request them to pay any points levied for extending?

Without plumbing, It should not be too much of a hassle to get the CO/CC.....

Did they hire an expediter? That will help....

Can anyone contribute how long that may take?
Does anyone have an idea of how long an "expedited" certificate of completion could take to issue on pre-existing garage extension?
