How a Consumer Hired a Lawyer to Review a Land Sales Agreement in Texas

Hello! It appears you may have grounds to terminate the land sales agreement based on the seller’s failure to provide the title within the agreed 60-day timeframe. In most land sale agreements, the seller’s timely delivery of a clear and marketable title is a key obligation, and failure to meet this requirement often constitutes a material breach of contract. In other words, CA law requires that parties perform within a reasonable time, and if they do not, it becomes a breach. Given that it has been six months, this delay may be seen as a significant breach, particularly if your construction plans are contingent upon timely access to the property. To move forward, you may wish to formally notify the seller in writing of their breach and request immediate delivery of the title, specifying a final deadline. Best of luck to you! Dolan
