OP Here.

I want to ask for a credit, but my agent has said if I ask, they will void the contract. I'm trying to figure out if they can really void the contract WITHOUT giving us some sort of warning, like "How dare you ask for a credit for those repairs, we will void a contract in 3 days unless you agree to buy the house with all that's broken!".

We love the house, we just think there is quite a few things that's in need of repair and that the seller should credit us for it. Of course, we don't want to ask for a credit if they are able to immediately cancel the contract and go with another buyer.[/quote]

If they said "NO WAY!"  wouldn't you have the option of saying "O.k., well we love the house and we want it anyway"?

Maybe since the house is "AS is" their hands are tied by the terms of their contract and they can't say yes to your idea about splitting the costs, so you either buy or walk.

Maybe your agent should explain this better....it is confusing for those of us not in the trade.[/quote]

OP Here

Thank you! You are the first person to understand my issue (I guess I wasn't clear at the beginning). We are trying to figure out IF, by asking for a repair credit via the Home Inspection Clause, the seller is able to [i]immediately[/i] void the contract. We don't want them to immediately void the contract, we just want them to tell us they won't give us a repair credit and let us carry on with the sale.

In the original post, I added a quote directly from the Home Inspection clause with a bolded portion that I BELIEVE says that they cannot IMMEDIATELY void the contract if we were to ask for repair credit, but they will give us a 3 day warning before they do. I'm trying to figure out if the bolded part of the contract actually says that, or if I'm misunderstanding it.[/quote]
