What if the owner does not sell?
If the owner decides not to proceed with the sale after accepting a formal offer or signing a preliminary agreement, they are legally responsible for breaking the contract.
In most cases, the seller must return double the deposit (caparra confirmatoria) paid by the buyer. This is a legal protection designed to ensure fairness and commitment from both parties.
Additionally, depending on the situation, the buyer may also have the right to take further legal action to enforce the agreement or claim damages.
At Immobil Oikos, we work to prevent these situations by dealing with serious and verified sellers, and by managing the process with professionalism and clarity from the beginning.
Your position as a buyer is protected by law and by our guidance.
