Seller Is Slow

  We have signed a contract on a house in SC and have a set closing date. Seller has agreed to pay for a termite inspection but has not done so at this time. There are 36 days left before closing Seller's agent is not in any big hurry to see this completed. The loan process can't be completed until the termite inspection is done. Can the seller be held liable for inhibiting completion of the buyers loan by not providing the termite inspection that was agreed to contractually.
 
  Your question should be taken to a lawyer who specializes in real estate.  I don't know enough about your particular situation or your sales contract.  Sorry I can't be of help on this one.
