Hi, I really appreciate legal advice on this issue.
25/Feb: Set up house viewing. Both me and spouse love the house and decided to proceed with putting deposit.
27/Feb: 3% deposit paid.
28/Feb: Signed offer of purchase letter.
2/Mar: Seller signed the letter.
7/Mar: Proceeded with loan application through agent but was on hold cause seller claimed the geran eaten by termites.
9/Mar: Seller refused to sell the house and wanted to terminate the contract.
1/Apr: After 21 days from signed offer of pruchase letter; I asked lawyer to send LOD to seller for compensation. Seller ignored all text from agent. But lawyer confirmed the seller has received the LOD.
26/Apr: Owner revert and said he was cheated by agent and did not know he would have to pay compensation if he cancelled. (The terms was on the offer of purchase paper which he signed on hardcopy). But, seller agreed to pay up negotiated compensation.
10/May: Seller claimed that he signed selling exclusivity(?) to another agent and he will proceed with selling the house. So my agent said the commission will be 50-50 between his agency and the exclusive agent.
13/May: The other agent claimed that the seller actually already signed with them and they have another buyer who is now already applying for loan. The exclusive agent refused to mentioned the date offer of purchase was signed.
I dont know how to go from here. Please help me… I need advice…
