    The seller / vendor.
    Not enough information given to answer the second question.

    thanks NUTLEY BOY

    in the roman based law there is a rule of preclusion, ie. if you wait too long with the lawsuit your claim would be rejected.
    does the same rule exist in common law? if yes, what is the time limit?

    Normally the seller.

    Two exceptions straight off:
    1. A buyer might engage an estate agent to find properties for them.
    2. At an auction, an auctioneer (specifically, not just any estate agent), can sign the contract if the highest bidder doesn't.

    See the Statute of Limitations, 1957 (interestingly it doesn't include "act" in the title), the Statute of Limitations (Amendment) Act, 1991 and Statute of Limitations (Amendment) Act, 2000. Other acts also apply. There are also practical limitations, e.g. the court may be reluctant to hear a case where many of the witnesses can't be found or can't remember the circumstances due to the passage of time.
