You can walk and loose your earnest money then hope they don't try to sue you. I had this happen to me on a house I was selling. The buyers decided at the last minute they couldn't afford the house even though they were approved on financing. I could have sued and won but it would have tied me up in court and the house for years. It wasn't worth it to me. Probably not worth it to your sellers either. If it were me I would make them pay the full cost of removal or walk. Although you should have made an honest attempt to get an inspection within the 15 days.

Who cares what they do, walk away man and tell them they have asbestos! They also have to disclose that from now on and they will have to pay for it.

No way in hell I show up for that final walk thru. I would talk to him once about it and if they balk at doing the right thing, I would find another obscure reason in that contract and use it to haul arse.

Also, shame on you for not having it inspected by a pro
