Repair Request

In North Carolina, sellers have three options when a buyer submits a repair request during the due diligence period: agree to the repairs, decline them, or offer a credit or price reduction instead. Sellers are not legally required to make any repairs — the obligation to do so exists only if a repair agreement is signed under Form 310-T before the due diligence deadline. Once the due diligence period expires, the buyer has already committed to the home regardless of repair outcomes, which means the seller’s negotiating position changes substantially depending on timing.
