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 number of online searches for “lawyers near me” or “best lawyer in” typically indicate an urgent need for effective legal assistance, rather than a desire for a particular professional designation.  In Ontario, “licensed paralegals” fall under the regulation of the same Law Society that governs lawyers, and they possess the authority to represent clients in specified litigation scenarios.  Skills in advocacy, legal reasoning, and procedural knowledge are fundamental to their function.  DefendCharges.ca offers legal representation within its licensed parameters, focusing on strategic direction, evidentiary preparation, and compelling advocacy to secure timely and advantageous outcomes for clients.
