I recently made a bid to purchase a home in virginia. The bid was accepted. There is a contingency clause regarding the results of the home inspection. When the inspector and I arrived on the appointed day the couple would not let us in the house. We rescheduled the appointment for four days later.

I was informed by the inspector that the roof needed to be replaced, the air conditioner (condenser) did not work and the FRT was dark brown and rotting. I am currently waiting to hear from the sellers whether they will repair the problems or not (the contract states 2 days).

My question is: do i have recourse? I know I can void the contract (stated as a contingency in the contract). But I am totally aggravated by the seller not revealing the problems, the listing did not state "as is" and the fact that we had to reschedule. Is there legal action that can be taken?

You can not take legal action just due to aggravation. Your recourse due to the items you have stated is to simply terminate the contract pursuant to the terms and provisions in said contract.
