Agreement for selling a house plot Agreement for selling a house plot

2 years ago

My mother along with me and my brother gave an agreement to a buyer that we will sell house plot at mutually agreed cost and took advance. The buyer wanted 85 days time to pay the balance amount and get the property registered. But, he did not turnup. Through Mediater we understood that buyer wants 3 more months. But he did not approach us. As he failed the condition we want to cancel agreement and return the amount after deducting expenses incurred Rs.20,000/-. Kindly advise whether we are legally permitted to cancel the agreement?

A.Hello
If there is a clause in the sale agreement that if the buyer fails to pay the due amount in specified time then this agreement would he terminated or if the buyer does not fullfill the conditions of the agreement. In that case yout are legally permitted to cancel thr agreement and sell the property to someone else.
Thanks.

A.Hello
Yes, you are legally permitted to do so. First you'll have to check the sale agreement and see if there is any clause like in case not payment of due amount this agreement would become void. In that case you are no longer bound to sell the property the builder, you could sell it to someone else.
Thanks.

A.Kya registered agreement hua hhai.Agar registered hua hai tab aap unko ek legal notice de ki aap sale deed executed kara le or remaining amount pay kar de. Agar vah usko nhi karta hai tab aap apni property ko sale karne ke liye free hai. Agar seller time sima ke antargat sale deed executed nhi karta hai. Tab vah sirf aap se payment recovery ke liye court jaa sakta hai.
Agreement karte time usme kuch conditions likhi jaati hai. Agar koi bhi party uska paalan nhi karta hai. Tab agreement nirast mana jaata hai.
Ab aap par depend karta hai ki aap time dena chahte hai ya phir uska remaining money.

A.It is necessary to scrutinize the Agreement executed by and between the parties because the terms specified therein are binding upon both the Parties and if that prospective buyer failed to comply with the terms and conditions of that Agreement and if there is no provision for extension of time even in case of Clause Force Majeure and if there is provision for deducting such amount then only specifying all such grounds through Notice that Sale Agreement,if unregistered, can be revoked otherwise the Buyer can challenge such cancellation of Sale Agreement by filing Court case.

A.Serve the buyer with a legal notice first. Since the agreement do not seem to be a one where time is of essence so the legal notice will be necessary to fortify your case of cancelling the agreement unilaterally. As far as the expenses are concerned that would be dependent on fact of the case and whether you can establish the actual expenditure incurred and if that is due to the reason that the buyer defaulted then you can file a case before the court to cancel the agreement and make good the expenses incurred.
