I appreciate any support.

@Akshay Bawa There are numerous forums that are Canadian focused! 

repaied by 9/13 for township re-inspection and not my inspector with previously anticipated closing date 9/14: - furnace repair- *electric repair- *basement smoke detectors replaced- *2nd floor bedroom battery for smoke detectorHowever, the local U&R requirement is just for safe occupancy and certainly not to the standards of this house at the time of sales agreement (house was agreed to over asking, AND above market value locally due to its great condition prior to the flood), and PA Agreement of Sales specifically states ("home must be in condition when it was agreed to").I have had numerous emails/info exchanged with my lawyer now.Any recommendation, pointers, insights?
