Answer: No, the buyer can legally do this.

Explanation: The buyer of the property cannot legally sell the property because he/she does not have the legal title to the property being bought on installments. In simpler terms, it is said the buyer does not have equitable title which in real estate laws refer to the individual's right to obtain full ownership of a property or property interest.
