Hello,
What is the name of your state? VA
Where can I find the law that governs the start time of a home inspection grace period if it is not specified in the contract?
Specifically, I put an offer on a house that was accepted on Sunday, Sept. 7th but I was not told of it until the following Tuesday, Sept. 9th. I was also not given a copy of the contract until the following Tuesday, Sept. 16th. The home inspection took place on Monday, Sept. 15th. and turned up very costly structural problems and I would like to back out.
When does the grace period (in our case 5 days) specified in the contract usually start and where can I look to research this further?
It seems unfair to have the 5 day period start when the seller signs the contract since I would have no way of knowing (and indeed did not know) when they actually sign it! If it does start when the seller signs it, do I have any legal recourse against my Realtor for being delinquent in her duties?
Any other thoughts would be highly appreciated.
Thank you.
