Just before the close, the buyer noticed a broken window and a mandoor hanging by one hinge in the detached garage, her inspector had missed these as he considered outbuildings as outside the scope of the inspection. What is the buyer's recourse?

Answer:

Buyer's responsibility because she had missed the inspection deadline.

Step-by-step explanation:

In real life time limits and deadlines matter, and if the buyer's inspector didn't notice the broken window and the door, it is not the seller's fault. Since the buyer noticed the defects just before closing the deal, she has two options: either walk away and lose the earnest money deposit, or fix the defects herself.
