Found a solar lien on an as-is property. What different scenarios can happen from here?

Our offer on a fixer trust sale was accepted TODAY. Yay! Because this was a very hot property we had offered a 15 day escrow and waived inspection and due diligence contingencies but still have our loan contingency in place. Despite asking multiple times about the status of solar on the house (leased, owned, etc) we couldn’t get any information from the listing agent or trustee prior to offers. No one seemed to know. Now that we have an accepted offer we’ve found there is a lien on the house for the solar. That’s the only information we have until the trustee investigates.

We have not yet transferred our earnest money yet and are concerned about this solar possibly being $20k in assumed financial responsibility being that we agreed to buy “as is.”

Our agent thinks we still have a safety net in our loan contingency because a lender could argue that assuming the lien debt changes the deal and won’t fund us.

Are liens included in “as-is” properties?

What possible scenarios can occur from here?

Help!

North Carolina – “One to Buy; Two to Sell”

I realize I will likely have to contact a real estate attorney but also hoping to hear insights and experiences from others! I have a house in NC that I bought by myself in 2009, and paid off, in full, in 2022. I got married in 2023. My spouse and I have not lived in the house as our "marital residence". We have maintained separate residences even after we got married. (That a separate topic!). I am now selling this house. Realtors have told us that my husband has to sign the deed at time of transfer but I am not convinced since the house has not been our marital residence. The realtors like to use the phrase "one to buy; two to sell", which seems like a broad-stroke statement which is not applicable under all circumstances. And of course, the realtors don’t realize the details of my specific circumstances: I purchased and paid for the house in full prior to marriage Only my name is on the deed And most importantly, we have never lived in the house as a marit...

warning about Biggins and Scott Brunswick

his is a general warning for people who use this agency to rent a property. I am going to share a disgusting experience that I had with the above agency. I was new to the rental experience after a marriage breakdown so I answered a add on Real Estate .com and met a guy in Maribyrnong to look over a apartment . He suggested he was not only going to be my roommate, but he also worked at the company in Brunswick. All looked good and myself and a lovely lady moved in to the apartment in late March. Everything was going well ,we were paying our rent and things were moving forward with 3 people coming from different age groups and different upbringings. Then on the 25th of June out of nowhere 3 Breach Notices appeared on my email from my roommate but on Biggins and Scotts letterhead. I was completely surprised and after trying to reason with the sender of these documents, I then decided I had to call his boss the Director of Biggin and Scott in Brunswick. David told me that he was ...
