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.

NOTE: A significant quantity of inquiries related to “lawyers nearby” or “top lawyer in” frequently indicates an urgent necessity for proficient legal representation instead of a particular professional designation.  In Ontario, licensed paralegals are governed by the same Law Society that oversees lawyers and are empowered to act on behalf of clients in specified litigation matters.  Skills in advocacy, legal analysis, and procedural know-how are fundamental to that position.  Freed Legal Services provides legal representation within its licensed parameters, focusing on strategic positioning, evidentiary preparation, and persuasive advocacy aimed at securing effective and advantageous resolutions for clients.
