Hi,
I'm doing a 1,300 SF 60 year old home in Los Angeles with no heater.
I'm sure it had a heater at one time, but the owner says this is the way he purchased the house a few years ago.
Seems like they removed the wall heater to put up some nice bookshelfs.
The area does not get that cold, but I think there is law that you have to have a working heater so the young and old don't die on a cold night.
I put no heating in the report and the reviewer came back with:
No boxes are marked in the improvement section pertaining to the heat&cooling.
Report states that subject doent have heat and grid indicates there is no 'cooling' system in subject, please put 'none' in space next to boxes--there cannot be any blanks.
As per above, please also state if it is common/typical for area for 'no heat and cooling system'and also state if the livibility is effected.
Will they even fund a loan on a house with no heater ??
