How to write a letter of withdrawal in case of promise of sale or a sales agreement?

When you have a promise to sell or a sales agreement and well you can retract. To do so you must send by registered letter with an acknowledgment of receipt from the day after signing within 10 days.

In addition, you can also ask your notary for help in writing this letter.
The sales agreement
The compromise recalls the sale price, the lots purchased, the surfaces, the diagnoses and all the elements related to the housing while specifying the terms of purchase: long sale, conditions precedent, etc.

A withdrawal period of 10 days is provided for by law without justification. This period allows the purchaser to think before committing. Withdrawal is still possible after these 10 days but entails the payment of penalties: payment of agency fees for example.

It is a commitment where the seller undertakes to sell his property and where the buyer undertakes to acquire it.  This process takes place after the acceptance of the offer to purchase.


The promise of sale
If it is a promise to sell, then it only commits the seller to sell for a certain period. The purchaser then has a period of time to accept or refuse the sale.

In return, the future buyer must pay between 5 and 10% of the sale price (capital allowance).

If the sale takes place, the sale price will be reduced by the compensation paid, but conversely (if no suspensive clause comes into play), the seller may then retain this amount as compensation.
