Default Land Purchase Nova Scotia, Canada

I recently signed a purchase and sale agreement for a parcel of land listed as 25 acres with at least 400 feet ocean frontage. The property was to be surveyed at the seller's expense, as he was splitting a larger area.

Despite being told by the surveyor that a 400 feet frontage would yield more than 25 acres, he told him to go ahead and measure 25 acres and ignore the width clause in the contract. This yielded a frontage of 338 feet.

I have demanded that he honour the terms of the signed Agreement but he refuses to do so. What is my position and what options are available? I do not consider breaking the contract to be a valid option.

Your advice would be greatly appreciated.

Based on what you say here, you could file suit against them (or at least threaten to do so) in small claims court or in regular court; filing in small claims court is easier and requires no attorney...you could try to collect all of the costs and damages that you suffered --
