Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Connecticut
Post inspection issue
The home I am selling had an inspection done by the buyer, the issues from the inspection were addressed and ok'd by the buyer. The date of the inspection contingency has passed, but the buyers lawyer now wants a radon test. Can they use the results to back out of the deal?

Re: Post inspection issue
Technically, no, if they are past the inspection period. In this market, though, they may threaten to back out unless you acquiesce. How much do they have down? Start airing out the house NOW, use fans, etc., especially in the cellar, especially if the house is empty or has been shut up with the A/C on. If they try to back out of the deal now they risk losing their deposit (but you risk having to put it back on the market).
