What happens if a problem turns up in the home inspection?
Often inspections will turn up problems with a home. Examples might be a non-functioning garage door opener, the presence of termites or other defects in the house structure or its mechanical systems. Contracts sometimes give a buyer the right to terminate the contract if there are unsatisfactory inspection items. In that case, provided the buyer gives notice of the defective items before the inspection contingency date, the buyer can terminate the contract or, more likely, negotiate with the Seller to bear the expense of some or all of the repairs required.
