I recently entered escrow after putting numerous offers in on many Irvine houses in the last 3 months and have encountered more issues than I thought I would from inspections and disclosures. Wanted to get thoughts from the forum if these were pretty common or should I strongly consider backing out.
Unpermitted backyard updates - Looks like the concrete, gas meter, and gas pipes (corroded) are not up to code
HOA Issues - The backyard and updates to the front yard were not compliant with HOA and there is a history of fines. House was also painted with non-compliant colors. Still not compliant today
Title Report - A significant amount of backed taxes on the title and a strange easement with someone who owned the house 20 years ago. (Would assume these get cleared up before closing, but the backed taxes caught me by surprised)
