I work for a structural engineering firm and have a report formed (not released yet as courtesy to seller). I am going to send the report with our offer. Our offer is quite a bit lower than asking. The sellers know of some of the things that need to be done but don't seem to want to do them. I would rather take care of them myself as I have a foundation crew that can take care of the work and I can handle the other things necessary.
Problem is our lender's appraiser will most likely catch the issues and need them fixed before closing. Also home insurance will probably require them, although it's not like the house is falling apart around us.
Long story short, I want to take care of the issues because I trust my crew and I would monitor it all, but I am not sure what needs to be done if the issues need to be taken care of before closing.
