Should I buy a house with Poly B?
The straight answer
Often yes, on the right terms. Never waive the inspection, confirm insurability in writing before removing conditions, and negotiate with real replacement numbers. A repiped home with paperwork has no Poly B problem at all.
The longer version
Plenty of buyers do well on exactly these homes, because the fix is known and priceable while other buyers panic. The discipline: an inspection that explicitly identifies the supply material, a written insurance answer before conditions come off, and a negotiation anchored to real completed-job costs. The buyer’s guide is the step-by-step, including the condo questions.
