(a) to disclose to the seller any fact as to the nature or extent of the seller's interest in the

property, as against the seller and all persons claiming under him 3*** to the extent of the
seller's interest in the property, for the amount of any purchase-money properly paid by the
buyer in anticipation of the delivery and for interest on such amount; and, when he properly
