Question:
“My offer was accepted on a weekend. My lender told me that you always consider the following Monday to be the acceptance date as far as when you start counting how many days you have for inspections and other things. Is that correct?”
Answer:
Your lender has an active imagination. And he’s wrong.
Even if your offer is accepted on a weekend or holiday, that’s still considered the acceptance date.
Your lender may be confused with the following:
The only thing that can’t happen on a weekend or legal holiday (when the county recorder is closed) is the actual recording of the deed and closing of the sale.
When the closing gets scheduled on a weekend or holiday, it’s always pushed to the following business day unless both parties agree otherwise.
