[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here.

I understand that they are able to void the contract. My original question is, if we were to ask for repair credit, can they void the contract [b]without giving us warning[/b]. The part of the Home Inspection Clause that I put in my original post states that they have to give me 3 days notice before the contract is void, but I may be misunderstanding it.[/quote]

Agent again.

OP, I feel like we've all been answering this and you aren't getting it, so I'll be absolutely blunt.

YES. THEY CAN VOID THE CONTRACT [b]WITHOUT WARNING[/b] IF YOU ASK FOR A CREDIT OR REPAIRS.[/quote]

Yup, I already accepted it as per my previous post. No need to shout! :)

Although, you were only the second person to actually answer my question. I already understood in my original posting that they can void the contract, but not that they don't need to give us 3 days warning.[/quote]

LOL. I wasn't shouting, just trying to make sure it was clear.

Anyway, despite what the contract language says (I know, lawyers, I know) as some PP's pointed out, sellers market being what it is, this isn't worth taking a chance on if there are other people who would take the house as-is and you love the house. If I were your agent, I would float the idea by the listing agent for shits and giggles to see what the reaction is. But I wouldn't put anything in writing until I got the other agent's response. If they huff and say "Oh, well we have others who will take it" -whether that's true or not, you know that you won't get very far and could lose the house if you ask for anything. If they are reasonable and say that they didn't know the house had issues and they'll talk to the sellers since this will come up on subsequent inspections with a new buyer anyway, then that's more of an open door to try.

So yes, they can walk away, but like someone said upthread, this depends on how long the house was on the market, if it's fairly priced, if other buyers would really take it as-is, etc. There are a bunch of other factors that could play in, unfortunately though your agent being M.I.A. right now isn't helping your case.[/quote]
