Les 10 choses à savoir en matière de droit immobilier\n\nPar Me Zakine, avocat en droit immobilier à Bordeaux\n
    \n \t
  1. co-ownership and its intricacies : Co-ownership law is like a good Bordeaux wine: complex, with its many nuances, and requiring a certain amount of time to mature to be fully appreciated. This complexity comes from the co-ownership regulations, the descriptive statement of division, the co-owners, the general meetings, majority rules, budgets etc.
  2. \n \t
  3. VEFA, its delays and communication problems But buyers beware of delays, a lack of transparency and communication, the quality of materials and developer secrecy!
  4. \n \t
  5. The syndicate of co-owners, the party responsible for conserving the building : Do you think you're walking into a simple meeting for the first time? Think again! Instead, you're entering an arena where every vote can spark off real conflict. The syndicat des copropriétaires is responsible for the conservation and maintenance of the building.
  6. \n \t
  7. The joint property, union representative : The condominium manager is a two-faced character. As both the guardian of the rules and a mediator, he is sometimes perceived as the 'big bad', but it is often he who, behind the scenes, manages tensions and ensures that everything runs smoothly. Of course, we lawyers sometimes cross swords with him, but always in a spirit of courtesy... almost always. He or she must work with the union council, which is chaired by the president of the union council and made up of a number of members appointed at the general meeting.
  8. \n \t
  9. Developers, builders, VEFA and CCMI Delay, delivery deadline, materials, defects, acceptance, ten-year guarantee, perfect completion, reservations, delivery report, handing over of keys, removal of reservations, summary proceedings, expert opinion, apparent defects, hidden defects, foreclosure, prescription, damages and interest, damages for work - these are some of the questions that may arise in the course of an inspection. construction law
  10. \n \t
  11. Time, that elusive ally Did you think time was linear? Visit property lawIt can sometimes seem elastic. Deadlines stretch, procedures multiply... But don't take this as laziness on our part. It's the nature of the beast, and we're here to tame it for you.
  12. \n \t

Excellent solicitor whom I highly recommend. She resolved a very complex matter for me involving a co-ownership association and its managing agent, with a clear strategy. After consulting with numerous solicitors without result, she was the only one who truly took the time to analyse the situation in depth and build a genuine strategy. Responsive, rigorous and very committed, you can trust her implicitly. Thank you Maître Zakine.
