All of this should have been in the purchase agreement: based on the inspection, all items should be repaired before closing, at least that’s what I have put in the contract.
I sold my last home on my own and I stated “as is”, I would not fix anything and I didn’t. The buyer still had it inspected to make sure if anything was found, the buyer would have to determine was it worth pursuing if the inspector found anything. Inspection was clean.

I’m pretty sure even under your description....if it’s disclosed in an inspection that there was mold or foundation issues etc....you would be held liable for that. Obviously you can walk away as could the buyer if you chose not to fix anything...but doesn’t absolve you from that liability.
