In the process of Buying and Selling a home who is responsible for turning on the utilities so that an inspection may be performed.
Our contract (offer paperwork) states:
Buyer shall have an inspection period of 10 days, commencing the first day after acceptance of this agreement wherein, buyer may, at Buyers expense, have any inspections made by experts or others of his choosing. Such inspection may include, but are not limited to, inspection for termites molds, fungi hazards, appliances, structures, foundations, roof heating, cooling, electrical,plumbing systems, utility and sewer availability, out buildings, square footage, school district, flood zone classifications, current zoning and subdivision restrictive covenants. SELLER agrees to provide the utilities for inspections and immediate access. If Buyer is not satisfied with the current condition of the Property as reflected in the inspection reports:
Option 1: Buyer may elect in writing to, to terminate the Agreement and declare the Agreement null and void;or
Option 2: Buyer may indicate in writing the deficiencies and desired remedies and SELLER will have seventy-two (72) hoursto respond in writing as to SELLER's willingness to remedy those defieciencies ("SELLER's Response").
We are in the process of buying a home that has been vacant, with utilities off, for over six months. In order to have the uitilities turned on to perform inspections the utility company needs a letter from an electrtion stating it is okay. We are being told we the seller must hire and pay an electrition in order to get the utilities turned on. We believe this is the SELLER'S responsibility.
Does anyone have any advice or experiance regarding this matter?
