Answer:

Generally, as long as there is no fraud or misrepresentation by the seller, a buyer has no recourse against the seller in an as-is sale.

FAQs

Yes, a signed purchase agreement is generally considered legally binding. Once both parties sign the agreement, they are obligated to follow its terms. This means that the buyer must proceed with the purchase, and the seller must sell the property as agreed. However, certain conditions, such as fraud or misrepresentation, may affect the enforceability of the agreement.
