Use and Occupancy issue

[David Gruszka]

Hi - This is a pseudo-continuation of my previous post with purchasing a house. We are buying the house with cash, no contingencies under a LLC name. The only requirement was that the seller obtained an U&O prior to the closing. I go through all my parts obtaining private funding, getting contractors set up (meeting dozens of them to find the right ones), and I'm about to get my civil engineers plans for the addition as well to propose to the town the day after closing. My agent just called me today (a month after being on contractor and about 3 weeks remaining letting me know the seller may not be able to obtain U&O. The seller agent had claimed he had 17 calls from the day he had the sign out for sale and that he wants to move on with another contract if they have to obtain a U&O. Given the large time I already put in, is there a way to force the sale with the U&O in place? I really don't want the seller to just walk away because the U&O is too difficult (I also went through this process about a month ago with another home.)

Should I call offer some advice/contractors number to hire to get it fixed up, go get a lawyer involved, or do I have other options? Out of the few house purchases I’ve been through, this is the first time I’ve had the seller have difficulties with their side, so any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance for the support.
