Contracts
When a Pennsylvania buyer waives the home inspection contingency, the buyer is accepting:
AOnly visible defects
BThe property in its current condition, known and unknown, without contractual inspection protections✓ Correct
CResponsibility for all future repairs with seller's warranty
DA 1-year warranty from the seller for any defects discovered
Explanation
Waiving a home inspection contingency means the buyer accepts the property in its current condition — whatever that may be — without the contractual right to back out based on inspection findings. The buyer retains legal remedies for seller fraud but loses the flexibility to negotiate repairs or exit based on discovered conditions.
