You will then have to choose to remove it, at your expense, try to get it permitted, at significant cost and aggravation, or cancel your purchase contract.
While your buyer may choose to accept it as is, perhaps demanding an acceptance of liability or your part, their homeowner's insurance likely will not, without certified installation and UL type approval. Many readers live in more rural areas where such troubles are less likely. To everyone else, good luck.
