Does the seller have to clean up house or yard before closing?
We have an offer accepted on a house, the appraisal and inspection are done. The house isn't really clean but not horrible, I can clean that myself and plan to so that it is done right. However, the back yard has all kinds of junk laying out in the back by the fence line, a barrel used for burning things with glass broke all around it, old boards, an old garage door motor, just a bunch a junk. I was wondering do they have to clean this up before we close on the house? I don't mind cleaning the house but that would be alot of work that I really don't feel that I should have to do. We did write after the inspection that we wanted it cleaned but that was on the repair report and I don't think I should have to use my $250 in repairs to clean their mess. What should I do to make sure this is taken care of? We are closing on May 15th.
I have already had my contract accepted so is there anything I can do now before we close?
We have a realtor but what is DYI?
If it was there when you wrote the contract then it will likely be there when you close.
You could ask your Realtor to see what could be done under your contract.
You mentioned $250. So I guess you have something in the contract that says the seller will do at least $250. of repairs if they are found. It probably also says if more than $250 of legitimate repairs are found the seller has to do them or you can back out-(you know-what would happen if the roof was found to be in horrible shape). Again ask your real estate person about all this.
