This runs until September 30. In consultation we have extended this until December 30 and were informed of this by email, without reading or receipt confirmation, by the broker. We were allowed to continue in the meantime with other interested parties if they presented themselves. On November 14 we receive a phone call from the broker that there is a much higher bid. Both the broker and we are of course very happy with this. The broker advises to report this to the previous buyers for the sake of goodwill and whether they also want to offer that higher amount. We accept this and indeed these buyers agree to this. A new purchase agreement is drawn up with the higher amount. We receive this by email on November 22. The same day the broker comes to us to say, and this is unfortunately true, that the buyers called because they can stick to the original contract if they buy it unconditionally now. It concerns a difference of 60,000 euros! Of course, we should have read the small print better ourselves, but you also trust someone who knows what they are talking about. In the meantime, it has also become apparent that the real estate agent has sold our buyers' house and is now acting for the buyer and seller. Due to unpleasant circumstances, we really need that higher amount. Please advise us on whether we can do anything to get rid of our sense of injustice. \n\n\u003ch4\u003eLawyer\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n Without having seen the first deed of sale, I cannot give a full answer to this. I am familiar with the construction used, which I am not in favour of. The arrangement is indeed such that the first buyer is given the opportunity to convert the purchase agreement into an unconditional agreement if you wish to dissolve it with a view to entering into a purchase agreement with a third party. If the first buyer exercises this right, none of the parties can withdraw from the concluded purchase, including you. That is the core of this arrangement, but it depends on the exact wording in the deed of sale whether there may still be a possibility for you to undo the purchase. For example, I wonder whether it was not agreed that all notifications must be made in writing, you indicate that the buyer responded by telephone.
