Cancelling a sale contract

From: Marina .


Hi everyone,

My parents purchased a block of land and paid the 10% deposit and signed the contracts.
3 weeks later my dad got sick and now they will not proceed with the purchase.
There was never a SUBJECT TO FINANCE in the contract.

So the bottom line is according to the sales agent they will lose their $19500 b/c of non- settlement.

I enquired about on-selling, if they could find a buyer in the next 2 months before settlement , but they said they cannot do it until the land is settled. It is their policy.
Just to explain land in this area is only sold and purchased from the on site sales office.
Normally when you purchase land in this estate you cannot sell for 3 years unless you are sick or have financial problems.
This is why you cannot on-sell.

Does anyone know a way around this so they do not lose their money.



Thanks
Marina.

Hi Marina,

What about find a buyer within the 2 months time frame and assign the contract to your buyer.

And then you can do a simultaneous settlement with the vendor and the purchaser. This way, you get around the problem.

If i was in your parents' situation, this is what I would've done. So this is only my personal opinion. :)

HI Marina,

You said, "...according to the sales agent they will lose their $19500 b/c

NEVER listen to the sales agent in a sub-division !!!

Get your contract of sale and the covenant and go have a talk to your
solicitor.
