There are choices accessible to the gatherings and the main thing a purchaser ought to do is discussion to their legal counselor, he said.

“I have a lot of compassion toward the situation of individuals in that position. Clearly, it’s been realized by conditions unforeseen and outside their ability to control.”

He said it comes down to what kind of agreement there is and whether the property is genuine.
