Seriously, you want to get lawyers involved over a furnace? You'd probably be able to buy 3 furnaces with the amount spent on legal bills. I think I'd take the guy's offer and keep the deal on track.
Yep agree with Drover...I don't think you'd have much of a case.
Right and which was also old in my older house. OP your seller should have offered a home warranty...they would patch all the old stuff for a year.
Not if it wasn't functioning before the sale.
For the record, I wouldn't close if it wasn't fixed or received a credit at closing to have it repaired myself. (Doesn't matter if it was a furnace, boiler or hot water heater ... I wouldn't close.)
I don't understand what you mean here? We offered a home warranty and so would have just called them and it would be fixed or replaced.

I also told him an option was to play hardball and see what happens.
I'm going by what your agent told you and my own opinion. Do you think your agent is lying to you about that? I would guess for certain you will lose it if you back out. That is just the way it works. You knew the furnace was old..it is the luck of the draw. If it broke the day after you moved in it would all be on you.
Your sellers should have offered a home warranty. I bet they (home warranty) would find a way to patch it then.
--" ypu knew that the firnace was old "--
I once bought a car I --KNEW WAS OLD"--, however, if it konked out the day befored I bought it, I wouldn't buy it.
--"if it broke the day after you moved in"--
Then I would be the owner.
The day before I close, he owns the house.
Regarding realtors, of course they want the buyer to agree.
No sale,no commission ( and the closing date is so near they can actually smell the money) !

But, if its a boiler, it could provide both heat and hot water. Often folks with radiators use the same boiler for both heat and hot water, you just turn off the circulating part in the summer.
