"budget for replacement in the near future" leaves that entire burden on the client.

Better to state the truth: 'The recognized way to correct this condition is to have the house re-plumbed by a licensed and qualified plumbing contract with another approved material.' and write it as a repair item.

That allows the buyer to negotiate that with the seller, quite possibly getting a credit or cash back to help cover the cost.
