After a homebuyer in Arizona missed the inspection window specified in their purchase contract, questions arose about whether the seller is still obligated to pay for repairs identified later. Generally, real estate agreements include an inspection period during which buyers can inspect the property and request repairs or negotiate credits for any issues found. If the buyer doesn’t raise concerns within that timeframe, the seller typically isn’t required to address repairs afterward, unless there was intentional fraud or concealment of major problems.
Real estate agents advise buyers to closely track inspection deadlines and submit requests in writing before time expires. Missing this window often means accepting the property “as is,” highlighting the importance of understanding contractual timelines. Buyers uncertain about their options after missing such a deadline should consult their realtor or a real estate attorney for guidance.
