Breaches can occur when one party fails to perform as promised in the purchase agreement, such as failing to close on the closing date or misrepresentation of property conditions. Remedies depend on the breach and contract terms, including potential damages and possible specific performance or rescission. A lawyer can help evaluate the breach and advise on the best path forward.
Available remedies typically include monetary damages to cover losses, specific performance to compel completion, or rescission to unwind the contract. In some cases, attorneys may pursue equitable relief or injunctions to preserve rights while the dispute is resolved.
The timeline varies with case complexity, court calendars, and ADR availability. Some breaches are resolved in weeks, others take months or longer, especially if litigation is required.
