I need to see the papers, but it looks like breach of contract to me. Contact me for a free consultation at 310-266-4115 or you can email me.

Re: Enforceable contract?

Howdy:

As stated earlier, but not explained very well, you can sue for specific performance. What this means is you can force the seller to follow through on the contract. Although, if there are problems that make performance impracticable (which means very hard), then this may not be available.

Another option is to sue for the lost benefit of the bargain. The typical messure of damage for a real estate deal like this is the difference between the value of the property at the time the contract was breeched and the contract price for the property.

Since the property is unimproved, the value of the unconstructed structures won't be taken into account.

Of course, this all does depend upon how the contract was worded.

We used to live in Murrieta.

Hope this helped.

Re: Enforceable contract?

Is the contract is writing and if so what does it say? Without this information one cannot advise you.

Re: Enforceable contract?

Sounds like you need to retain a Mr. Attorney to assist you. Need info re contract in written form, etc., before can advise.
