Hello - I'm currently in the process of purchasing a town home in Pennsylvania located in Bethel Township Delaware County. I'm scheduled to close on the property on 8/23 at 10:00 AM EST, I am the buyer. The sellers agreed to have repairs completed that were specified in the home inspection report and the wording in the contract states: "Above work to be completed at sellers expense prior to closing. Copies of completed work orders to be provided to buyers no later than 5 days prior to closing." My question is, since I have yet to receive the completed work orders, have the sellers breeched the contract since it is now Sunday, August 18th at 2:00 PM which is technically less than 5 days from closing? Thank you for your help
I would just check with them to make sure you receive them by tomorrow. That should still be plenty of time before your scheduled closing. I trust that you'll be inspecting the work and not just the completed work orders.
I won't weigh in as to whether it might be an actual breach of contract. It could be that the closing date would just need to be rescheduled if it's really that much of an issue.
Maybe your buyer's agent received the copies in his office/e-mail. But, being a weekend, s/he will forward those to you tomorrow. Or it could be the selling agent who dropped the ball. Give your buyer's agent a call this afternoon. S/he'll will get to the bottom of it.
Are you having second thoughts about buying the townhome? If so, seems like you have a technical reason to walk away (talk to your agent). However, if you really like the townhome and the offer that was accepted, then give them one actual business day (a Monday) to comply.
After a debate with my realtor, we have decided to provide the sellers with an extension so that they can obtain the necessary supporting documents stating that the repairs have been completed. I'm still not convinced that we will be closing on this home but only time will tell.
Rational1, yes, I definteley meant breach not breech..thank you
Just out of curiosity, if a seller modifies a light fixture by replacing it with a lesser fixture or possibly doing the same thing with an appliance, is there any recourse for me the buyer? Thank you again!

Unless otherwise specified in your contract, the seller should not be replacing anything in the house. Everything should remain as you saw it unless otherwise agreed upon.

You would see this at the final walk-through and bring it up at the closing.
