Question

i have a property for sale in southern delaware. i have a signed sale agreement that the buyer wants out of. the contract had contingencies that i have gone out of my way to take care of. the one he is using as an excuse is the site evaluation for septic. the septic system is standard gravity feed which is the best you can get. however on the plot with the boring locations it has an area where it states "possible cemetary per previous owner" there is no record of this in any county papers (it is just hearsay) the buyer says he won't except the site evaluation because of this. yet this has nothing to do with the septic. even better the buyer had this paper work in his possesion when he signed the sale agreement. my question is can i hold hi to the contract???

Get the evaluator to delete the comment about the cemetary then.

in regards to my first thread; i talked to the dept. of natural resources in delaware and they said it will be hard to get the evaluator to take the statement of the possible cemetary off the site plan for he may be held accountable in some way if anything is ever found. also i found out that the reason the buyer wants out is that his wife is having a moral dilema with buying a property with the possiblity of an old cemetary. however she is not named anywhere on the contract and did not sign it. can her husband use her not wanting the ground as a legitiment arguement???

1. the evaluator needs to be evaluated.
2. if hubbie does not listen to wife, all hell would break loose. So be realistic. The wife is the Boss. And is this a case of calling Ghostbusters? You as the Seller need to get to the bottom of things rather than standing ground.
