Thank you for your advises!

Yes, don't give in, ever! I have seen few lawyer, and the lawyers all suspected this guy is delaying the settlement by purpose. We went to the site every week, from demolishing until the completion, we have all the photos taken every week, but he just don't want to get the plan of subdivision registered. Until weeks after sunset clause expired, he sent an email and want more money. Otherwise, he will refund deposits to us and terminate the contract with us.

According to lawyer, there are risks but we have a very good chance of winning.

Did you mean they haven't been in touch with you since caveat has been put?

Settlement was two months ago, after multiple attempts to contact them, they have only replied once saying they needed two weeks just to give us answer. That was over a month ago. They are obviously trying to delay, but that won't work with us.

Yes, all cases have risks. Even ours, but I put our chances at 95% of winning. You need to get some kind of figure before you embark on legal action.

Good luck and let me know how you go!
