Sellers stopped maintaining yard while contingent
Today I removed contingency (edited) on a 690k house I was contingent to buy for 2 months. I drove out to the property just to take a look and the sellers haven’t cut the grass all spring. There are a few downed tree limbs from recent storms and everything is overgrown.
A) Why would a seller do this when inspection and appraisal backouts are still possible? B) am I justified to ask for some kind of closing credit to have the landscaping at least trimmed and debris cleared?
