Q: Can a seller say no to a drilled well system inspection on the property after the offer to purchase has been signed?
My father in law has an agreed offer to purchase for property in wisconsin that has 2 water well systems. His realtor striked off the inspection and didnt tell him. He wanted the wells inspected though. now the seller is saying no to the inspection. Can the seller say no and can his agent be held liable?
A: Your instincts are correct. The seller only has to follow the contract language. The agent would be responsible for any damages your father-in-law could prove.
