1 sided cancellation of real estate contract
I am the owner of a 3 family residential building; currently under contract to sell the building; but want to cancel the contract, since there have been many delays on the part of the buyer. What are the consequences of doing so?

Re: 1 sided cancellation of real estate contract
It is normally very difficult for a seller to cancel a contract unless there has been a material breach by the purchaser or the contract has a provision for cancellation.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Purchaser has a remedy to sue you for specific performance binding the sale.
