965 chars[3] McMahon followed Lipson v. Southgate Park Corp., 345 Mass. 621, 625-626 (1963), which found no merger or waiver where the contract of sale expressly provided for the construction of a new house in conformity with certain specifications, and Holihan v. Rabenius Builders, Inc., 355 Mass. 639, 641-643 (1969), where, on facts substantially similar to those in Lipson, the same reasoning was applied and the same result was reached. Contrast Pybus v. Grasso, 317 Mass. at 717-719, where the merger doctrine was applied to a sale in which the buyer received a smaller lot than contracted for because "to hold the defendant for the missing land would be inconsistent with the deed, which described only lot 37." Similarly, Snyder v. Sperry & Hutchinson Co., 368 Mass. 433, 440-442 (1975), applied the merger doctrine to bar a contract action where the property conveyed was encumbered by a lease for a longer period than specified in the purchase and sale agreement.
