Q: Should I sue a homebuyer company for breach of contract and/or fraud claim?
I'm the seller of a property and a home buyers company notified me 2 days before closing there was a break in the chain of title and they sent an extension that did not have an expiration date, which I declined. After initial contract expired, I requested the removal of affidavit of memorandum on title they refused and threatened to sue me for breach of contract, according to the initial contract its my responsibility to make sure title was clean and clear. I found out there was no break, I believe they lied because they knew they wouldn't close on time. All proof of previous ownerships was documented on public record. So a second demand letter was sent and the affidavit was finally removed after I threatened to go to court and file a quiet title lawsuit. Coud this be a case for a lawsuit to hold them accountable for their actions?
