Movant is the owner of a tract of land near Beaver Dam, Kentucky. In 1967 mov-ant built a residence on the property for a total cost of $96,000 ($86,000 construction of the house, $10,000 estimated value of land), and lived there for about two and one-half years. In 1970 movant rented the premises to his partner in his medical practice for a monthly rental of $200. Movant’s partner moved out in the summer of 1972. The movant and the respondents, who were close personal friends, entered into discussions as to the rental of the property for $200 per month and the possible purchase of the premises for the sum of $75,000. The parties orally agreed to a rental of the property for $200 per month for a period of one year, at which time the respondents would pay the balance of the purchase price. A writing and bond for deed to this effect was prepared by movant’s attorney; however, it was never signed by movant.
