Sewell, NJ asked in Real Estate Law for New Jersey

Q: buyer had home inspect. Roof has 5 yrs left. They want $$ toward new roof. Can they back out,get deposite back?

Attorney review is over and they chose home inspector. I understand I am required to make repairs in inspection report but inspector did not note any repairs need to be made to roof, just that it has about 5 yrs left. Now they are asking for credit towards a new roof or may back out. Are they entitled to this and will they get their deposit back if they back out?
