Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Pennsylvania

They are all a matter of contract: they are negotiated by the parties and then stated in the Agreement of Sale.

Due diligence would be the inspections that the buyer has the right to do, and should be contingencies that, if not satisfied, do not require the buyer to settle on the property.

The Agreement should state clearly what documents the seller has to provide and when.

There are many other terms that should be in the Agreement, too many to list in a forum like this one.

Parties to Agreements of Sale for real estate should each have a lawyer representing them before they sign the agreement. It is penny wise and pound foolish to try to save money by not involving a lawyer on what is, for most people, the largest investment that they make: buying the property.

This response is not legal advice, since I do not have all of the information that would be required, and I do not have a representation agreement with you.

* If the answers to your question confirm that you have a valid issue or worthwhile claim, your next step should almost always be to establish a dialog with a lawyer who can provide specific advice to you. Contact a lawyer in your county or township.

* Another reason for contacting a lawyer is that it is often impossible to give a good answer in the Internet Q&A format without having more information. The unique circumstances of your situation and things that you may not have thought to mention in your question may completely change the answer. If you want to be sure that you have a complete answer to your question and an understanding of what that answer means, establish a connection with a lawyer who practices in the area of your concern.
