Does the new April FHA regulations prevent any discussion at settlement on unmet repairs?

Profile picture for Cupid Heart
requested by the buyer. I am told that all issues must be resolved prior to settlement according to the  "New April FHA Regulations"

Prior to April, Buyer & seller could discussion any unmet requests and resolve them at settlement. Supposedly, the new law prevents that level of discussion at settlement.  Is this true????

The new law addresses disclosures in respect to fees and interest rates.  If the contract or lender requires a repair. Then do the repair or you will not get your money Mr or Ms Seller. If you agreed to a repair to sell the home it must be done to close.

you can discuss anything you want.  If your mortgage commitment calls for specific repairs, they must be done and the appraiser must go back out and sign off that they were done prior to the lender issuing the money
