Advice for buyers and sellers

We offer legal advice to buyers and sellers on every recourse that is related to the sale or purchase of a property, whether it is a house, duplex, triplex, apartment building, divided co-ownership or undivided co-ownership.

02.

Recourse in passing of titles

The sale of a property implies a “passing of title”. In exchange for sum of money following a real estate transaction, the seller transfers to the buyer his right of ownership of the property. Recourses are available if promises to purchase have not been satisfied.

Remedies Related to the Guarantee Plan

In 1999, the government made a guarantee plan mandatory for new residential buildings. This plan ensures that the contractor performs properly the legal and contractual obligations provided by the Regulation respecting the guarantee plan for new residential buildings. We support our clients through all proceedings and steps that can sometimes be deemed complicated according to a technical and legal point of view.

02.

Servitude

A servitude is a charge imposed on an immovable (the servant land) in favour of another immovable (the dominant land). An owner agrees to transfer a benefit to another neighbouring owner.

For example, a benefit that gives the right to circulate on the neighbouring property in order to access the lake would be a servitude to access the lake. A servitude that prevents a property owner from blocking the view of another neighbour is a servitude of view.

Our real estate lawyers in Montreal will counsel and assist you in recourses related to encroachments and servitudes.

03.

Latent Defects

A latent defect is a defect in a property that was unknown to the buyer at the time of sale. To be considered as a latent defect, it must carry a certain degree of seriousness and diminish its usefulness to such an extent that the buyer would not have bought it or would not have paid such a high price for it if he had known about it. It must also not be detectable or apparent to a prudent and diligent buyer, nor be revealed by indications found by a pre-purchase inspector without the need for an expert.

Have you acquired a property with a latent defect? Our Montreal law firm, specializing in real estate law and construction law, can intervene by your side as soon as a latent defect is discovered.
