Purchasing Home Recently Renovated for Chinese Drywall

Seller has paperwork verifying the complete gutting of the home with associated treatment techniques. Any concerns or issues with purchasing said property?

They should incorporate those documents into the closing documents and have language regarding any future problems associated with it. Discuss with your closing attorney because I know that is what some buyers are requiring and it might be required anyway.

Don't buy it.
There is still sulphuric acid in the house.

Thank you for the input. I wasn't able to locate much documentation discussing complications following 'full' treatment. Definitely want to cover my tail if the transaction proceeds.

Our place had Chinese drywall. It was renovated. It is practically a brand new house. It was gutted to the studs, which were treated. We have the original toilets and cabinets. Everything else is new.

have an independent inspector look at any PEX or copper pipe as well as all copper wiring in the house to check for signs of deterioration. Also have them closely inspect the piping and coils in the air handler. These are particularly affected by the off-gassing of the drywall.

Similar process to this home. New appliances, countertops, floors, etc. I'm just concerned about potential issues that may be masked by the renovations. The sulfuric acid comment is a bit concerning, but I'll have to research that hazard later. Appreciate the input gentlemen.
