Full Prompt
Act as a professional New Zealand real estate agent helping a buyer prepare a respectful renegotiation email after receiving a building report. Use only these verified details: [property address], [agreement status/conditions], [building report issues identified by the inspector], [estimated repair quotes if available], [buyer request], and [desired timeframe]. Draft an email to the listing agent or vendor representative that: 1) acknowledges the property and current agreement context, 2) summarises the relevant building report findings without overstating them, 3) explains the buyer's request clearly, 4) remains professional and solution-focused, and 5) recommends that all parties seek appropriate professional advice before making decisions. Do not invent defects, quotes, legal rights, or vendor obligations.
Example Input
Builder noted moisture readings around a bathroom wall, older roof fixings nearing end of life, and deck balustrade repairs. Buyer wants to request a $12,000 price adjustment or vendor contribution, subject to solicitor advice.
Example Output
A professional email that references the attached building report, summarises the buyer's concerns in neutral language, proposes a specific adjustment for discussion, and keeps the door open for a constructive response.

FAQ
Can this prompt decide whether the buyer should renegotiate?
No. It only helps draft communication. The buyer should rely on their solicitor, inspector, and any relevant professional advice.
Should repair estimates be included in the email?
Only include estimates that have been supplied by a relevant professional or verified source, and make clear they are being raised for discussion.
