2 separate contracts on a multi-family with a single deed?
hello BP, we're in a tricky situation and in need of some guidance from the community. So straight to the question!
Is it legal to put a contract on each structure in a multi-family property that only has one deed? And how can one get out of a contract?
and I explain..
The property is a deeded "triplex" thats consists of a duplex and a single family home on ONE deed. A buyer has made a contract for each structure (one for the duplex, and one for the single family home) In Norfolk, you can't split the properties on a deed. So does that make the contracts void, even though it binds the property until the closing date? Any insight will be greatly appreciated.
and please note, I don't own this property. We do intend to purchase this property if this contract becomes void. I do have an agreement with the seller.
Thanks!
