State real estate laws vary on this point: your realtor or a local attorney can give you the answer you need.
If your question is "can the contract be null and void" if signed only by the primary buyer and not by the co-signer? Depends. If the contract is in both names-yes. If the contract is typed up "only" in the buyer name-no. If the loan is conditioned to both signing, yes.
Right up until the point when the contract is signed, the buyer can change his or her mind, and what the co-buyer thinks about it is an issue for the two of them to work out. After the contract is signed, it's pretty much too bad for the buyer if he or she has "second thoughts".
The contract is not enforceable unless both parties signed it. If the sellers changed their mind and didn't sign then you don't have a contract.
When it has been signed by the buyer and seller.
The date the Buyer signs it.
The contract and closing process can be intimidating for any first time buyer but it is greatly rewarding. Be sure to find out the condo dues and fees and when they are due.
It depends upon the specific terms and conditions of the contract. If the contract simply states it is the buyer's obligation to secure financing, then you can NOTcancel the contract. If the contract states that the agreement is conditional upon the buyer's ability to secure a loan, then you CAN cancel the contract.
If the contract was supposedly made for a co-signer and lead signer then no, it would be non-valid if not signed by both parties.
If a seller and a buyer have already signed a contract, then you have to sell according to the contract. If you want to sell to someone else not on the contract, then you have to get out of the first contract.
Yes, unless a contract was signed, up until a contract is signed a buyer can back out at anypoint.
That depends on whether you have signed a contract with the buyer.
The seller is interested in selling the property and not getting into a legal battle over breach of contract. Keep the deposit and move on to the next buyer.
