Asked by
We have already exercised our landed property in Jan '18, but the completion date is in June '18.

Since the whole deal is almost complete, we have a already proceed to purchase our new condo. But recently my agent told me that the buyer might not complete the deal as their condo is still not sold and they might not have enough.

This might just be a assumption from my agent since we have not receive any notice from the buyer in paper. But my agent started hinting from the beginning of the year and just last week again. This is indeed very worrying for me as the completion is just next month and we have already bought our condo.

If the buyer were to back out from the deal, I will have to pay for additional 7% ABSD and to top up 30% of the house loan as the new condo will be consider as my 2nd property. May I know what can I do now?

Hi,

I fully understand your worries.

If the buyer of your landed property has already exercised their Option to Purchase your Property, they will have to fulfill their obligations and complete the purchase.

Failing to do so, you can actually choose to sue them for the damages which you may incur from this failure to completion.

Having said that, is there any reasons why they have not sold their condo? Have they been actively marketing it? Or is the property not rightly priced? My suggestion is for the Buyer to work on the reasons why they are not able to sell their condo.

Should you need any further assistance in matters relating to property, please contact me at my mobile 9748 6305  . I will be happy to assess and share with you the possibilities for you and your partner in the current market.

Thank you.

Best regards,

Hi, at this stage, you can only consult your lawyer for further advice. Whether to sue the buyer for specific performance if they really can’t complete the sales of the unit.
