In this case, the following measures can be taken:
1. Negotiate with the developer: First, try to negotiate with the developer to solve the problem and ask him to fulfill his contractual obligations and sign a house purchase contract. If the developers agree to solve the problem, they can reach an agreement and continue to perform the contract.
2. Seek legal aid: If negotiation with the developer fails, you can seek legal aid. You can consult a lawyer or relevant institutions to understand your rights and ways to protect them. If qualified, you can bring a lawsuit to the court and ask the developer to bear the liability for breach of contract.
3. Complaint and report: If you think that the developer has violated the rules, you can complain and report to the relevant departments. For example, you can complain to the real estate authorities and ask them to intervene in the investigation and solve the problem.
There are three situations in which you can buy a house without signing a contract:
1, the developer did not get the pre-sale permit for commercial housing;
2. The developer has no development qualification at all;
3. The developer was suspended by the Construction Committee for some reason.
To sum up, if you pay the down payment, but the developer doesn't sign the purchase contract, you should take timely actions to safeguard your rights and interests. You can negotiate with the developer to solve the problem, you can seek legal aid, and you can also complain to the relevant departments.
