Where sellers and buyers get caught
- Vague or missing conditions in the agreement of purchase and sale.
- Title issues, liens, or survey/boundary surprises discovered late.
- Misrepresenting (or failing to disclose) a known defect.
- Closing-date and possession mix-ups, and unmet conditions.
- Mortgage discharge and prepayment penalties when selling.
