What happens if repairs aren’t completed before closing on 30A?

If agreed-upon repairs are not completed before closing on a 30A property, your options depend on the purchase contract. Buyers may be able to delay closing, negotiate a seller credit, hold funds in escrow until the work is finished, or, in some cases, terminate the contract if the seller fails to meet their obligations.

Before closing, it is important to confirm repairs have been completed, review any invoices or permits, and verify the work during the final walkthrough. Addressing unfinished repairs before signing closing documents helps avoid unexpected costs or disputes after closing.
