I'm in the process of moving...........are there any liability insurance wise if I leave CSSed wood here upon sale???
Only if its pine and causes a chimney fire! Id be taking the wood with me, but I'm a hoarder. All kidding aside I wouldn't worry. If you're not sure ask your realtor or attorney.
I had a buddy buy a house years ago. Previous owner left about 10 cords of wood. I can't see how there would be any more liability than if you left a crappy shed or deck that was in rough shape.
Unfortunately realtors typically treat wood as a bad thing, even if it's neat and orderly. My mom was a realtor for 3 decades.
Yeah, pretty good chance they'll want to take (a stupid amount of) money off the closing price to get rid of all the wood burning related things. I wouldn't spend any effort ahead of that risk though cuz with a little luck prospective buyer just might know what it is worth.
MightyWhitey , we had to leave a few unprocessed cords when we sold in 2014 though we would have moved it if we could. We did not expect our house to sell the day after it went on the market and were crunched for time.
No idea about liability but if you have hoard and are gonna list your house if you plan to keep the wood(or anything else for that matter) get if off the property! When we sold the last house I had a couple cord stacked in the back, the buyer saw it and wanted it for the fire pit I explained it was still heating season and I’d be happy lt leave what was left. There wasn’t much”left”
