Can we seek Legal fees and damages while suing for specific performance of real estate contract?
Asked in Brooklyn, NY - 5 months
We as a buyer are ready to file a lawsuit for specific performance of real estate contract. Purchase agreement lists specific performance as the remedy for purchaser in case of default by seller. Is it possible to seek legal fees and damages in addition to specific performance by listing it while declaring Time is of the essence?

It's probably well worth your time to hire a lawyer. If you're suing a seller you want to make sure that you name all parties to the action.
