Extension of Loan Closing Date

If your lender delays closing, you have two options: Do nothing. Request to cancel escrow or serve a Notice to Perform.
First and foremost, the borrower, seller, lender and title company have all put time and money into the loan. If the loan doesn't close, that time and money is lost to them all. A seller may not be able to move his property right away; the buyer may have to start again from square one.
Even though a close date in a contract has passed, any attempt to cancel the contract will be unenforceable. Accordingly, a letter from a party's attorney stating that the contract is cancelled because the close date has passed will result in a breach of contract unless a reasonable time has passed.
Although failure to close by the seller on the specified contract date might result in breach of contract, a buyer must be able to prove actual damages before a court will award monetary compensation.As such, courts will award damages if a buyer can prove a quantifiable amount.
When the closing date was originally determined and the contract signed by both parties, that contract is binding. When the buyer misses the closing date, the seller has the right to terminate the contract and re-list the house for sale or contact other parties who had previously made offers on the property.
