Good afternoon Eileen,

I am sorry to hear about this. Sellers usually cant back out from sale after option had been issued. Maybe you can ask your salesperson to help you to resolve this by refunding option money in exchange for the otp.

Good luck!

Hope my sharing helps in aiding in your enquiry. May I know how can I value add further in your property needs?

Best regards,

YT Tan

Hi Eileen,

1) You have to understand the concept of a contract.
2) The 3 basic elements must be present in a contract; offer, acceptance & consideration (money).
3) In your case, all 3 elements are all present. This means that a contract had been set up. Your action of issuing an OTP is an acceptance.
4) If you back up, it means you are violating the terms and conditions of a contract.
5) The buyers have the right to sue you in court, and the court must issue an order to force you to proceed to sell.
6) In this case, you will have to pay for the legal fees, court fees, and possibly damages caused to the buyers in this process, and yet to sell your condo at the same price.
7) The only possible way is to ask your agent to negotiate with the buyers whether they are willing to back out with minimum damage (in terms of money) to you. This is not limited to the 1% they had paid.

Hope the above answer your main concerns, but if there are more query, please feel free to contact me at 90110636  , or email: ling.ck7@gmail.com if more information is needed.
I'll be glad to assist.

Hi Eileen,

I’m afraid it it not that simple as the buyer could even refuse to accept your compensation and choose to sue you instead. So try to meet the buyer personally, have a good talk and try to explain your ground.
