Self help in real estate matters can be risky in terms of possible liability issues for the one who seeks to help himself. Therefore, I would recommend that you obtain the contact information for the new owner from the seller and send him a demand notice for whatever payment is due you, and, if refused or ignored, then file your case against him in small claims or other appropriate court rather than seek to pursue your recourse through the method which you've proposed.
