It depends upon the terms of the agreement. Some purchase contracts provide for mortgage contingencies, engineering approvals, etc.

Generally, no. Unless the terms of the contract specify that the seller can cancel the contract if the title report discloses violations or title obstructions which will be costly to remedy.
You should have an attorney review the contract. You may contact me at anytime.
