Bert offers to buy Simeon's property under the following terms and conditions: P1 million purchase price, 10% option money, the balance payable in cash upon the clearance of the property of all illegal occupants. The option money is promptly paid and Simeon clears the property of illegal occupants in no time at all. However, when Bert tenders payment of the balance and ask Simeon for the deed for absolute sale, Simeon suddenly has a change of heart, claiming that the deal is disadvantageous to him as he has found out that the property can fetch three time the agreed purchase price.

A. Will Bert's action for specific performance prosper? Explain.
