Construction, co-ownership, VEFA in Les Caillols — the expertise of Me Zakine

Vous avez investi dans un appartement neuf à Les Caillols, dans le cadre d’une Vente en l’État Futur d’Achèvement (VEFA), et le chantier accumule les retards. Les mails restent sans réponse, les nouvelles dates de livraison sont sans cesse repoussées. La situation devient anxiogène. Vous n’avez pas signé pour ça. Mon constat à Les Caillols, c’est une méconnaissance des armes juridiques à disposition. Pourtant, le contrat de VEFA est un cadre strict. Un delay VEFA is not inevitable. It entitles you to late payment penalties, or even, in the most serious cases, termination of the sale and reimbursement. My role is first to negotiate firmly with the developer to obtain a quick solution. If dialogue fails, action before the Judicial Court of Marseille (competent for Les Caillols) becomes necessary. I guide you step by step, from sending the formal notice to the judgment.

Le quotidien est souvent tout autre : Les retards ne sont qu’une partie du problème. À la livraison, viennent les mauvaises surprises : malfaçons, réserves non traitées, finitions bâclées. Là encore, il faut agir vite et bien. Les réserves doivent être précises, documentées (photos, vidéos), et envoyées dans les délais. Passé ce délai, faire valoir ses droits devient bien plus complexe. Ce que peu de gens savent : même après la levée des réserves, les garanties légales (garantie de parfait achèvement, garantie décennale) vous protègent. Un défaut de construction apparu dans les dix ans peut engager la responsabilité du constructeur. L’assurance dommages-ouvrage est ici un levier crucial pour financer les réparations sans attendre.

Is your property in Les Caillols a co-ownership? Conflicts are frequent there: disagreement over works, dispute of charges, nuisance problems. These tensions can poison daily life. My expertise in real estate law and co-ownership allows you to understand the condominium regulations, the powers of the managing agent, and voting in assemblies. I assist you in defending your position, whether in mediation or before the court.

Neighborhood issues in Les Caillols, with its dense urban fabric and sloping land, often generate disputes over easements and encroachments. A neighbor claims a right of way on your land? Their constructions encroach by a few centimeters? These situations, seemingly minor, can block a sale or create a lasting conflict. An easement of view or water drainage must be respected. I help you assert your rights, stop the t

Encroachment is a clear violation of property rights. A wall built partly on your land, a poorly placed fence... This situation must not be allowed to become established. The thirty-year prescription can, in the long run, cause you to lose your right. An action for boundary demarcation or demolition of the faulty construction must be initiated quickly. I work with expert surveyors to establish proof of the encroachment and obtain before the Marseille Tribunal, which has jurisdiction for Les Caillols, the rem challenge of a building permit can also be a necessary step if the neighbor's construction is unlawful. Faced with a abandonment of site on a neighboring plot that affects you, legal remedies also exist.

Whether you are facing interminable delays on your off-plan purchase (VEFA) in Les Caillols, defects in your house, a condominium conflict that is escalating, or an encroachment by your neighbor, inaction always worsens the situation. Rights exist, but they have deadlines. A well-drafted formal notice, a negotiation led by a specialized lawyer, or a targeted legal action make all the difference.

Do not let a developer or neighbor trample on your rights as an owner or purchaser. Together, we analyze your case, your contracts, and define the best strategy to protect your assets and regain your peace of mind. The first step is a clarification of your legal position.
