Realty Issues Commonly Leading to Legal Action

When a realty deal goes awry, legal disputes often arise.  In some circumstances the seller of a property may suffer losses and in other circumstances it is the buyer that suffers harm.  Regardless of which side of a troubled realty transaction you are on, professional legal advice should be sought.

Common Issues

Frequently occuring realty dispute issues that give rise to litigation involve, among other things:

  • The failure to close in broom swept condition;
  • The failure to close whereas a buyer abandons the agreement;
  • The improper removal of fixtures or certain chattels prior to closing;
  • The failure to properly close a pool or perform other maintenance;
  • The failure to disclose details regarding a latent defect; and
  • The improper concealment of a patent defect.
