The contingency removal form is actually designed to cover the removal of both buyer and seller contingencies. The first section of the form focuses on contingencies that allow the buyer to back out. The second section deals with the seller's removal of a seller contingency.
Contingencies are conditions that must be met for the sale to proceed. These could include inspections, such as a home or termite inspection, financing, or selling another property. Removing contingencies ensures that these conditions have been satisfied or waived, taking an active role in the transaction.
The contingent period usually lasts anywhere from 30 to 60 days. If you have a mortgage contingency, the buyer's due date is usually about a week before closing. Overall, a home stays in contingent status for the specified period or until the contingencies are met and the buyer closes on their new house.
Inspection Contingency It covers the buyers' physical inspection and the title report or homeowner's association documents. Generally, buyers have 17 days to remove the inspection contingency.
