Important Tips for Completing a Residential Contract for Sale and Purchase – Part 12(d) Continued: Property Maintenance, Condition, Inspections and Examinations

Property Inspection and Repair                                      

Section (d) contains information on the Inspection and Close-Out of Building Permits. The first section, section (i), addresses Permit Inspection. Here it states that the Buyer may have an inspection where  records and documents are examined in order to determine if there are any open or expired building permits or unpermitted improvements to the property. This is called a Permit inspection. Buyer then must deliver written notice to the Seller, within the inspection period, of the existence of any open or expired building permits or unpermitted improvements.
