Whether your property is in Opio, in a new residence, or resulting from a renovation, defects appear. Who is responsible? The project manager, the contractor, the architect? The ten-year warranty is your main insurance, but insurers systematically contest it. They argue design flaws, maintenance defects. I dismantle these arguments. The damage-construction insurance is a powerful, often unknown, lever to finance urgent repairs without waiting for fault

Life in a condominium in Opio, between older residences and recent complexes, generates conflicts. Charges deemed excessive, necessary works blocked in meetings, nuisances between neighbors… These quarrels poison daily life. My expertise in real estate law and co-ownership allows for resolution. I assist property managers in enforcing the regulations. I defend aggrieved co-owners. The goal? To find a robust legal solution that restores peace, without necessarily going through a lengthy and costly lawsuit.
Servitudes: right of way, view, water
In Opio, with its relief, its olive groves and its old plots, easements are omnipresent. A path that crosses your property to access another plot. A view that your neighbor seeks to obstruct. Rainwater that flows onto your land. These real rights are often misunderstood. Can they be challenged? Modified? What few people know: an easement not used for 30 years can be extinguished. Conversely, prolonged use can create one. I help you

Your neighbor has built their pool or wall on your land in Opio. This is an encroachment. The first step is a bailiff's report, then an attempt at conciliation. If it fails, legal action is necessary. The Opio Court can order the demolition of the structure and award damages for loss of enjoyment. The issue of boundary demarcation is crucial. An amicable demarcation, followed by a judicial one in case of disagreement, establishes the boundaries in an indisputable manner. In extreme cases, such as abandonment of site neighbor dispute that escalates, or a questionable building permit, I mobilize all remedies, including challenge of a building permit if urban planning rules have not been respected.
My approach is always the same: understand your unique situation, clearly explain your options, and act with determination to defend your real estate assets in Opio.
