Is the 4000 Express House/Foredeck Cored?
#4
Can be very expensive to remediate, lots of pictures available online showing examples. That said, the only way to know 100% is to actually see the coring, either through core samples or removing the top layer of glass. What the surveyor comes back with is an educated guess. Is he basing his opinion on moisture meter, percussion sounding, thermal camera, all the above? Is he saying it is delaminating or just wet?

If they're looking for a reasonable allowance to address, it is probably best to just continue with the sale, perhaps see if they'll meet you halfway. If they're looking for a huge reduction, I'd let them walk and sell to someone else with a less-nervous surveyor.

Just my 2 cents.
