Bought a Home - Concerned About Attic Mold (Need Advice)

Hey all,

I recently had an offer accepted on a house (still under conditions). The inspection went okay overall just a few repairs and cosmetic issues estimated around $6,000.

But my main concern is the attic mold. The inspector said there’s a fair amount and it is all over, likely due to poor ventilation and it is 35 years old house. A few contractors quoted around $5,000–$6,000 CAD for remediation.

I’m torn now. Everything else seems manageable, but the attic mold worries me.

Has anyone dealt with attic mold before?

• Is this a common issue?
• We really like the house I am worried what if it spreads and all.
• Any red flags I should know about?

I would love to hear about your experiences.
