Question & Answer

Review the question and all answer choices

A

No inspections

Option A contradicts the fundamental purpose of the investigation contingency, which exists precisely to allow inspections. No inspections would leave buyers unprotected against undiscovered property defects.

B

Buyer to investigate property and request repairs or terminate

Correct Answer
C

Only appraisal review

While an appraisal review may be part of due diligence, the investigation contingency encompasses much broader inspections including structural, mechanical, and environmental assessments beyond just valuation.

D

Seller investigations only

The investigation contingency is specifically designed for the buyer's benefit, not the seller. Seller investigations typically occur during the listing phase, not during a buyer's due diligence period.

Why is this correct?

The Buyer's Investigation contingency specifically grants buyers the right to inspect the property and then exercise three options: request repairs, negotiate credits/price reductions, or terminate the contract if issues are unacceptable. This comprehensive protection makes option B the only correct choice.
