Real Estate Legal Questions and Answers

Purchase Agreement

Washington

Asked on Oct 31, 2023

Can I back out of a purchase agreement?

I recently signed a purchase agreement for a house. I was unaware of some major repairs that need to be done and now I am worried that I won't be able to afford them. I am trying to figure out if there is any way I can back out of the purchase agreement and if so, what steps would I need to take.

Merry K.

Answered Nov 10, 2023

A well-written purchase offer usually includes several ways for a buyer to back out of the purchase without any penalty - for example, if the buyer doesn't like the inspector's report, one can usually back out on that basis - another typical one is failing to obtain a loan. I hope your buyer's agent wrote up the offer in a way that gave you 2 or 3 "escape clauses" - you should talk with your agent, but if there are problems, I would recommend that you have a real estate attorney review your offer and help you get out of the offer - if possible - with minimal or no cost to you.

Purchase and Sale Agreement

California

Asked on Sep 5, 2023

When to sign a purchase and sale agreement?

I am in the process of purchasing a property and need to know when I should sign the purchase and sale agreement. I have been given an offer from the seller and have been told that I need to sign the agreement in order to move forward with the purchase. I am concerned about signing the agreement too soon and have questions about the timing and what risks I may be taking if I sign before I am sure I am ready.

Myrna L.

Answered Sep 24, 2023

If you are not ready to buy a property, it is only fair not to waste sellers’ time who are trying to sell their property. If, however, you are ready to buy a property but is concerned about unforeseeable risks, you can mitigate or eliminate your risks by spelling out contingencies in your Purchase and Sales Agreement. If the conditions or contingencies are not met, you do not have to go through with the deal.

Building Lease

New York

Asked on Nov 22, 2023

What about taxes in a building lease?

I am in the process of signing a lease for a building for my business. I am looking to understand the tax implications of the lease and what I need to be aware of. I want to make sure I am in compliance with all relevant tax regulations and I am looking for advice on how to best handle taxes in the context of this lease.

Craig C.

Answered Nov 24, 2023

There are several different ways this can be handled: one situation is that you have a base tax year and as tenant are responsible for any and all amounts over that base amount. Another scenario that the Tenant is liable for all of the taxes and associated costs. Finally, and unlikely, the tenant could have zero exposure for taxes, but that’s rare. To sum it up it is whatever you negotiate with the Landlord prior to signing any lease.

Purchase and Sale Agreement

North Carolina

Asked on Sep 6, 2023

Deposit in a purchase and sale agreement?

I am in the process of purchasing a property and have recently been presented with a Purchase and Sale Agreement. I am unclear on the deposit requirements for this agreement, and would like to know what is typically expected in this situation. I am also interested in understanding what happens to the deposit if the deal does not go through.

N'kia N.

Answered Sep 24, 2023

A Purchase and Sale Agreement for real property will often require two types of "deposits." The first is a due diligence fee; the second is an earnest money deposit. A due diligence fee is paid to reserve time for the buyer to conduct due diligence - an opportunity to evaluate whether or how to move forward with the deal. The seller earns this fee immediately by agreeing not to sell the property to another buyer, potentially one offering a higher price, during the due diligence period. Therefore, a due diligence fee is nonrefundable unless the parties specifically agree that it will be and under what circumstances. An earnest money deposit is more akin to deposits in other types of deals, in that it may or may not be refundable. This type of deposit is refundable if the deal is terminated before the due diligence period ends but nonrefundable if the due diligence period ends before the deal is terminated.
