Legal advice on mobile home purchase agreement

Questioner

Hello, Following an advertisement on the internet regarding the sale of a mobile home on rental land, I viewed this mobile home with its current owner (private individual) 2 weeks ago. Last Sunday we had a 2nd appointment on site and we verbally agreed on the price and accessories. Last Tuesday I emailed a standard purchase agreement and asked when we could meet to sign the purchase agreement. I received an email from this lady that we can do this on site next Friday at 3 pm. I confirmed this to her by email. Today (Thursday) one day before the appointment to sign I received an email from this lady that she is withdrawing from the sale due to developments. The advertisement on the internet has increased the asking price as of today. Now my question is: Is this allowed and possible and what should/can I do to still complete the sale? Awaiting your prompt response, I remain.

Day, No, that is not allowed. There is already an enforceable purchase agreement. The question is, however, how much work and money do you want to put into this case to enforce your rights, where a sensitive point that is often agreed upon verbally and/or by telephone. Perhaps it would help if a lawyer explained why the seller is bound by the purchase agreement and that by not cooperating with the sale or delivery he commits a breach of contract. If necessary, I can state this for you in a short email or letter.

Thank you for your quick response. My idea is to call her and have her confirm that we have an agreement. I want to record this conversation. What is the value of such a recording and what is the value of its confirmation by email? If I have achieved the above, a legal letter would certainly help.

Day, that is a great idea, both proofs are completely valid. It would certainly help if I write your letter later.
