Q: I am buying a house with a barn, it is under contract at the moment. Am I aloud to go in and start cleaning the barn?
The reason I am asking is due to how dirty the barn is. The seller dose not live there and you can see they never cleaned the stalls out ever and I have 4 horses to go in after all the paper work is signed and it will take a good two weeks to clean it out. So by the time it is done, I will have it cleaned and my horses will be able to go right in
A: Unless the contract allows it, you cannot go on the property until closing.
A: You'll need written permission from the owner to do that, otherwise that would amount to trespassing. More details are necessary to provide a professional analysis of your issue. The best first step is an Initial Consultation with an Attorney.

A: Ask the seller / seller's agent / seller's attorney. If they are reasonable they should allow this, possibly with some restrictions.
