The land became your property after you paid its price, so there is no zakat due on what you paid. As for the seller, he owes zakat on the amount if a full lunar year has passed over it, provided it remains in his possession. Regarding the remaining ten (units of currency) that are your liability, there is a jurisprudential dispute about deducting them from zakat funds, and we have clarified the most authoritative opinion in Fatwa no. 100534. Your lending to the person and informing your family about it is a good deed for which you will be rewarded.
