After closing a sale, the seller is typically not responsible for any repairs unless explicitly mentioned in the purchase agreement or if they failed to disclose known issues. Post-closing, repair responsibilities usually shift to the buyer, including issues with plumbing, structural integrity, and cosmetic flaws. However, sellers may still be liable if they did not disclose problems, if there is a post-closing agreement for repairs, or if the purchase contract mandates certain repairs. Buyers should conduct inspections and negotiate repairs before closing to protect themselves.
The seller is not responsible for repairs after closing unless otherwise stated in the purchase agreement or if they failed to disclose a known issue.
