Hi SIr/Madam,
We entered into a property purchase agreement ,property located in Allahabad.We have a court agreement with three years time limit. The agreement was done properly with a stamp duty of 1.29 lacs paid at the time of agreement.
The total property cost was 27.5 lacs and we paid an advance amount of 13 lacs at the time of agreement(5 Lacs paid by chequce and remaining amount paid in cash over a period of a year). The term of agreement expires in mid of September,2016. The Seller is reluctant to execute the deal and keeps on making excuses.
We approached a legal expert who had arranged the agreement three years back and they advised to send a legal notice to seller to exceute the deal. The notice was sent in month of June, however we did not get any response from the seller on that Notice.
The .legal expert is advising to make a Claim over the property ,since there is no response from Seller.He is of the view that this matter may take about an years time by court to settle , however since we are lawfully okay , the deal will go through.
I need your expert view on this situation and what is the way forward. How much time such matters usually take and how much it may cost.Or there any odds in this case which may go against us? Will the cost incurred during the legal proceudue be paid by seller at the time of dispute settlement ?
Thanking you in advance,
Arun K Jaiswal,
