MattH,
...No plumber has been contacted. It was like you said they had a friend of a friend look at it and estimated a price of $350...I am also contacting a lawyer Monday to go over my options...
If it's really about $350 then in your shoes I would probably just get it done, that kind of money isn't worth losing a real estate purchase over it, but I would certainly have a plumber I trusted take a look at it to find out whether $350 is a realistic estimate! As with any profession, plumbers vary all over the map. Shortly after my wife and I bought our place in 2002 a small plumbing problem arose and since it (1) affected only our unit and (2) only arose some months after we bought the place it was clearly our problem. It didn't cost all that much to fix, but was annoying because a few weeks after that plumber had worked on it the leak returned. We called a different plumber who explained why the first repair had not lasted and proposed a plan for a better fix. This leak has yet to recur seven years later. Needless to say, since then when something has needed doing we have called the second plumber (who was recommended by the Junior Warden of our Church) rather than the first guy (who was recommended by the condo management company).
