How would you go about those contingencies? Let him fix it and get it inspected? Or ask for a bunch of money off up from and do it myself after purchase?

only you know where you stand in the purchasing process and/or what you can ask for at this point. be sure to read your contract but this is something you definitely want to get addressed.

couple things not brought up yet

-it’s been a wet winter here, but every winter is wet
-they just put the sod down evidently
-it will not survive being underwater like that
-regardless of what you do or don’t do to address the drainage, you are going to lose all that grass
-it will be replaced by dollar weed and other ditch weeds
-the soils under that sod are probably clay, so the only way that water is going to recede is by evaporating
-your going to lose those fence posts as well, eventually
-the fence is now in the way of fixing the storm drainage

good luck my brother

Have you already went through the home inspection process? I'm assuming the contract is based on home inspection but only you know what is written in the contract
