We're trying to sell a 27 year old house in Sugar Land. A very nice custom home on the golf course.
Inspection was yesterday. The buyer's realtor sent an urgent message to my realtor:
"inspector reported an outlet in the upstairs bedroom study is not functioning. Inspector said it is overheating. Please let seller know and see about getting this fixed timely before any major consequences"
I'm in Colorado. My realtor wanted to call an electrician to go there urgently. I told her it doesn't make sense lets wait on the actual report from the inspector.
That room has not been occupied since my daughter moved out many years ago. I would guess nothing has been plugged into it in 10 years. It isn't on a GFCI circuit.
Any of you electrical gurus have an idea what may be going on based on the limited info above? I think the buyer is just trying to set me up to ask for money.
