Question posted in the Property Law category relating to Gauteng
Scenario-I put in an offer to purchase on a house. Being asking the seller for the plans a couple of times before signing the Offer to purchase. He tole us that everything was on plan. We signed the Offer to Purchase based on this info. Found out a couple of weeks ago that the extra buildings is not on plan. Had to go and fetch the plans myself after finally getting a signed letter from him giving me permission to do so.He seems unwilling to get everything on plan. Told me he will not spent a cent more on the house. I see only one way forward and that is to get out of the contract as i do not know the potential pitfalls of the buildings and how much it will cost to get it on plan or if the local authorities might force the structures to be broken down.
Was given advise to write a letter to the lawyers handling the transfer to demand that he deliver the approved plans + Certificate of occupancy within a two week period. On failing to do so the contract will then expire because of non performance from his side.
Please help with advice and point me in the right direction. Thanks Emmanuel
