-The FAR/BAR 'As-Is' contract typically allows 15 days for inspections.
IF that period expires (past the 15 days) then you have a 'Cash Sale' (I.E You don't have any rights under the (expired) inspection clause any more.
-What to do?
Find out who has your deposit
Go there right now with written notice that you are withdrawing from the sale (No explanation included!!!!.
Demand a written response.
Then they will have to deal with the State Of Florida is they don't comply.
Hope this helps
