I am not sure if you are the seller or prospective purchaser; nevertheless, here is your answer: Based on the information provided above, Ii you are the purchaser you may cancel the contract as the bank will not agree to provide the full amount of the mortgage requested and necessary to purchase, you may renegotiate the sales price or agree to provide additional cash at closing. If you are the Seller the same applies but you are under no obligation to renegotiate but your purchaser may cancel under the mortgage contingency clause in the contract. The answer has been provided given only the information provided thus may not be relied upon as legal advice. You may call my office to discuss further Best regards, Keith A.
