Sounds like you could be beyond attorney approval, inspections, etc. and maybe even have a loan commitment. And no attorney. There's a good chance you could lose $20,000.00 if the contract gives you no other "outs" at this point. There may be outs, but without a complete review of the situation including the contract, it is IMPOSSIBLE to provide any sound legal advice.
