| In this case, Valdes-Choy was ready, able and willing to submit to Chua all the papers that customarily would complete the sale, and to pay as well the capital gains tax. On the other hand, Chua's condition that a new TCT be first issued in his name before he pays the balance of P10,215,000.00, representing 94.58% of the purchase price, is not customary in a sale of real estate. Such a condition, not specified in the contract to sell as evidenced by the Receipt, cannot be considered part of the "omissions of stipulations which are ordinarily established" by usage or custom.[41] What is increasingly becoming customary is to deposit in escrow the balance of the purchase price pending the issuance of a new certificate of title in the name of the buyer. Valdes-Choy suggested this solution but unfortunately, it drew no response from Chua. | |||||
