It depends. If you have a valid, executed Contract of Sale you may sue for specific performance, ie: have the Court force the Seller to complete the transaction.

What does your lawyer say?

Re: backing out

It depends on whether you have a contract, the terms of any such contract and other circumstances. You should consult an attorney to discuss this in detail as soon as possible.
