Bordeaux and its legal specificities: Me Zakine intervenes in real estate law and other areas to meet the needs of his clients

Bordeaux, this magnificent city with a rich historical and cultural heritage, is also distinguished by its legal dynamism. Whether it is real estate law, construction law, labor law or family law, Bordeaux is full of skills to meet the specific needs of each client.

The real estate law lawyer in Bordeaux: an expert in constant demand

The Bordeaux real estate market has experienced real growth in recent years. This excitement has generated numerous real estate files in Bordeaux. Among these files, sales in the future state of completion (VEFA) and delivery delays have multiplied. These situations require the intervention of a VEFA specialist. The real estate law lawyer in Bordeaux, with his in-depth expertise in this area, supports his clients in the analysis of contracts, advises them and defends them against any dispute that may arise in this context.

Construction law: necessary expertise in the face of defects and other disputes

Faced with the increase in construction, individual house construction contracts (CCMI) are increasingly in demand. In Bordeaux, CCMI specialists are positioning themselves to counter the manufacturers. These lawyers, experts in construction law, intervene in cases of poor workmanship. They provide support to customers in the face of manufacturers' failures, whether this concerns defects in construction or contractual breaches.

Contesting a building permit: the decisive intervention of the lawyer

The Bordeaux real estate law lawyer is not limited to VEFA or CCMI. Me Zakine also intervenes in the context of building permit challenges. Faced with a refusal or a dispute, it is common to start with a first informal appeal. If this is not enough, litigation becomes necessary. The expertise of these lawyers is then essential to navigate the administrative twists and turns and effectively defend the client's interests.

• Let's take the example of the sale in a state of perfect completion known as VEFA: 

The Sale in the Future State of Completion (VEFA) is a real estate purchase mechanism which allows the buyer to buy a property which is not yet built or currently under construction. One of the main concerns of buyers during this type of transaction is respecting delivery times. In Bordeaux, as in other cities, the delay in the delivery of a VEFA property can have numerous consequences for the buyer.

The important steps in the event of a VEFA delivery delay in Bordeaux:

1. Verification of the contract :

   • First of all, it is essential to check the terms of the VEFA contract. Some contracts include clauses that provide for tolerance periods, during which the developer can be late without incurring penalties.

2. Communication with the promoter :

   • If you notice a delay, the first instinct should be to contact the real estate developer to obtain clarification on the situation and the reasons for the delay.

   • Keep a written record of all your communications with the promoter.

3. Formal notice :

   • If the delay persists and exceeds the tolerance deadlines or if the promoter does not provide valid justification, you can send a formal notice. This official document requires the other party to respect its obligations within a specified time frame, under penalty of prosecution.

4. Claiming late penalties :

   • Many VEFA contracts provide for daily penalties in the event of late delivery. If this is the case, you can claim these penalties according to the contract.

5. Legal recourse :

   • If the formal notice remains ineffective and the developer does not remedy the situation, it may be wise to consult a lawyer specializing in real estate law to consider legal recourse.

6. Receipt of the goods and reservations :

   • Upon delivery, even late, of your property, be sure to carry out a thorough inspection in the presence of the developer or his representative. If you identify defects or non-conformities, list them in an acceptance report with reservations.

7. Search for amicable solutions :

   • Even after taking legal steps, it is always possible to seek an amicable solution with the developer, for example through mediation or direct negotiation.

In the event of a VEFA delay, it is crucial to remain proactive, to be well informed of your rights and obligations and, if necessary, to consult a legal professional to obtain advice tailored to your situation.

Co-ownership law and associated disputes
