Question

A buyer and a seller enter a contract for the sale of a three-bedroom residential property. Shortly after the contract is in place, the buyer has an inspection done. As a result of the inspection, the buyer wants the seller to fix the fence and replace the garage door opener. The seller refuses. How should the parties proceed

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

In this specific scenario, it can be said that the fixes do not become part of the sales agreement. Both parties agreed to the details specified in the contract/agreement, therefore if one of the involved parties is not willing to agree to a specific amendment to a contract then ultimately the original contract remains in place. Meaning that the seller has no legal obligation to fix the fence or garage door opener, and a new agreement must be created for those fixes, while the original agreement stands.
