In 2000, Spring Homes likewise entered into a Deed of Sale over
the same property. Hence, the Spouses Tablada filed a complaint
for Nullification of Title, Reconveyance and Damages against Spring Homes and the Spouses Lumbres. Later, however, the Spouses Tablada dropped Spring Homes from the case.
The RTC dismissed the Spouses Tablada’s complaint. The CA
reversed the RTC ruling and held that the first sale between Spring Homes and the Spouses Tablada must still be upheld as valid, contrary to the contention of the Spouses Lumbres that the same was not validly consummated due to the Spouses Tablada's failure to pay the full purchase price of P409,500.00.
