The Ontario Real Estate Association Agreement of Purchase and Sale allows for the purchaser to conduct a final walkthrough inspection prior to closing. At the end of the walkthrough, the buyer signs off on the Walkthrough Inspection Form. This form signifies the buyer?s acceptance of the property in its current condition and notes any contractual deficiencies. Therefore, this inspection is best performed after the seller has vacated the property. I will be happy to attend the walk-through with you. We will arrange this time/date amongst ourselves very close to the date of closing.
Since lenders normally forbid the creation of an escrow fund to allow for repairs not made prior to settlement, if may be possible?with the mutual agreement of the seller and the buyer?for the seller to credit to the buyer an amount that allows for the buyers to make the repairs themselves at a later date. This should be arranged prior to settlement taking place.
