I hope you can answer a question. My friend is trying to sell her home that was built in 1963; they put the fuse box in the main bedroom closet. When she purchased it in 1998, there was no mention of upgrading or relocating the box. Now that she is selling it, the buyer's inspector said she had to replace the box with breakers. Ok, no big deal, the work was done. Now, the walk-through inspector said it needs to be relocated the the laundry room or garage. This could cost her as much as $10k. Wouldn't she be "grandfathered" in? She didn't put the box there, the builders did. Now the buyer wants to back out. Please advise someone. Thank you.
