Going under contract, dealing with junk that could be left behin
I'm about to go under contract on a property that has a lot of junk in the yard - car, 20ft boat, 2 refrigerators... you get the picture. Any suggestions as to ways to deal with this situation? The contract says the seller will remove all personal property, but what recourse do I have, other than backing out or delaying closing until the property is removed? I fear getting rid of these large items could be costly. Thanks for your input!

If they are not gone before you close , have a large sum held in escrow to cover this
