# Immediate Repairs

Immediate repairs are corrections to physical deficiencies that need prompt action because of an imminent life-safety issue, likely system failure or cost escalation, or recorded building or fire code violations.

## Why it matters

ASTM E2018 calls the related estimates immediate costs. Lenders often require immediate repairs to be completed or escrowed at closing. Buyers should treat them as first-year acquisition costs.
