This rule shall be applied only to lots the deferred. price of which does not exceed $3,000.

In the case of judicial sale of a lot sold on instalments, because of a failure to pay the price, the value of the buildings constructed thereon by the buyer or his successors shall be appraised in the judicial proceedings, deducting from the amount fixed the value that reasonably represents the use and enjoyment of the said buildings. The net amount resulting from the appraisal thus made, shall be paid to the debtor by the one who purchases the property at the sale or by the creditor, as the case may be, as indemnity, before the ownership of the property is conveyed to him.
