Insurance protects you from loss. But what does the Utah Real Estate Purchase Contract (REPC) say about insurance and risk of loss during the purchase period?

Spoiler: It says the seller pays.

0:00 - Introduction

1:30 – Insurance will cover it. Does the buyer have to have insurance? Only if they are using a lender. The seller has to cover loss during the purchase period.

2:30 – 10% loss. This is why you don’t let the buyers move in early. All damages covered by the seller. If the damage is more than 10% of the purchase price…either party can elect to drop out of the contract.

3:21 – Story time with Aric.

4:34 – Hypothetical Situation: Italian Bobcat Fur Flooring. All repairs are on the seller. Letter of the contract – if it’s under the 10% par, they cannot exit the contract. The buyer will keep looking in the contract, and they’ll find section 11 – that the property is “as represented”. And that’s why earnest money keeps the contract alive. In the ender, you’re either going to negotiate or litigate.

9:59 – Acts of Terrorism. Not covered.

10:16 – What’d we learn today?

12:24 – Bloopers.

 

* No Italian bobcats were harmed in the making of this video.
