In this episode of the Washington REALTORS® Legal Hotline, lawyer Annie Fitzsimmons explains the legal implications of a seller consenting to receive a buyer’s inspection report—especially when that consent comes after a transaction has been terminated or the inspection contingency has been satisfied or waived.

Topics covered include:

• The role of Form 35 and Form 35CE

• Legal consequences when a transaction is terminated

• Obligations after waiver or satisfaction of the inspection contingency

• The contractual power of Paragraph 4 in Form 35

• When a buyer must (or must not) deliver the inspection report
