yes the seller can technically back out if any conditions in the contract are not met... however, to cover yourself you should probably send a letter in advance stating the closing date is coming up and what your intentions are. just a good idea... because then there is no argument.

Are there any advantage to the seller that does a sellers consetion?

Many time a potential buyer does not have the funds for a downpayment and the closing costs. The seller will give money back to the buyer at the closing to cover these costs. In most cases, the seller is mainly concerned with what they are netting..meaning how much money they are actually walking away with. A Seller's Concession is a tool to help a potential buyer qualify to purchase. Assuming the home appraises out there is very little impact on the seller

What is purchase money financing?

Is there a law that states the seller only pays 3 percent of the closing costs?

Yes, but only for FHA loans. As of last week many FHA guidelines were changed. One of those Guidelines include the percentage buyers can obtain in Seller provided closing cost. Previously, a buyer could receive up to 6% of the purchase price from the seller for nonrecurring closing cost (in the state of California and I believe nationwide but I am not sure). As of last week the max is 3%. This reduction is said to prevent inflation of sell prices. Generally, a seller will increase the asking price of any given property with the assumption that the buyer will require up to 6% back to cover closing cost, this process inflates the market value of a house.

Distinguish between the Bailment and hire purchase?

1. hire purchase(HP) is an agreement of hire, whereas credit sales is an agreement of sale. 2. ownership of goods is transferred from hire vendor to hire purchaser only when the last installment is paid, but in sales, ownership is transferred immediately to the buyer. 3. price is paid by the hire purchaser through installment which is treated as hire, but in sales price is paid in lumpsum or according to the agreement of sale. 4. the hire vendor can repossess the goods on default. but in sales the seller cannot take back the goods, whatever is the case.

How an escrow clause can be drafted?

First, determine what conditions would cause you to back out of your agreement with the seller after signing the purchase agreement. Write these into an escrow clause, then have an attorney look it over to ensure its legality. Then, both you and the seller must sign the clause.
