Our areas of expertise
Real estate transactions are often sealed with a contract. When you sign a contract to sell, lease or buy property, you and the other parties agree to comply with the terms and conditions in that agreement. Disputes can arise if either party fails to comply with the terms laid out.
Our real estate legal team has significant experience resolving a variety of property disputes, including:
- Resident property disputes, including disputes about enforcing or terminating purchase and sale agreements
- Issues arising from undisclosed property defects that weren’t shared before the agreement and other instances of negligent and fraudulent misrepresentation
- Claims on a title that affect a property’s value or use, such as liens, court judgements, certificates of pending litigation, caveats or builder’s liens
- A buyer’s refusal to close a purchase in a weak market or due to their inability to obtain sufficient financing
- A seller’s refusal to complete the transaction due to rising property values
- Buyer and seller legal remedies in a collapsing transaction
- Co-ownership disputes under the Partition of Property Act involving one owner’s desire to sell the property against the wishes of the other co-owners
