Home Inspection Timelines for Palatine Buyers: What Happens After Offer Acceptance

In Illinois, buyers have a five-business-day attorney review period after contract acceptance, and the inspection contingency window runs alongside or immediately after that — depending on how the contract is written. Palatine's mix of older housing stock means inspections sometimes surface items that require additional review, so understanding exactly when your contingency window opens and closes is critical before you schedule anything. Missing the window can mean losing your ability to request repairs or negotiate credits, even if significant issues are found. |
