VEFA & CCMI: the essential support. Acquérir un bien sur plan à Gassin est un projet enthousiasmant. Jusqu’au jour où les retards s’accumulent. En pratique, Les promoteurs invoquent souvent des aléas techniques ou administratifs locaux pour justifier leur retard. Ce que je constate à Gassin, ce sont des retards liés à des difficultés d’accès au chantier ou à des procédures d’urbanisme plus longues que prévu. Mais cela ne doit pas vous pénaliser indéfiniment. Je vous aide à mettre en demeure le vendeur, à exiger le paiement de pénalités de retard et, si nécessaire, à résoudre le contrat. Pour agir, consultez ma page dédiée au VEFA delay: what to do?. Construction defects and outstanding reservations upon delivery are equally critical. I guide you in identifying the defects, formalizing them, and obtaining their repair, even before signing the acceptance report.
Construction law: responsibilities and guarantees. Whether you are a project owner or the owner of a new property in Gassin, the chain of responsibilities is long. Ten-year warranty, two-year functional warranty, construction damage insurance... These technical terms cover vital protections. A defect appears in your villa? A crack, a leak? You must act quickly, within the legal deadlines, and identify the correct responsible party (builder, architect, engineering firm). I prepare your technical and legal file to
Condominium: managing the exceptional on a daily basis. A condominium (copropriété) in Gassin, whether in the village or on the heights, presents unique challenges. Enhancement works voted on hastily, conflicts over the use of common areas, disputed allocation of charges for the swimming pool or elevator... These tensions can poison daily life. My role is to calm things down, advise the managing agent (syndic) or the condominium council, and defend the interests of the co-owners, individually or collectively. To learn more, discover my approach to real estate law and co-ownership.
Servitudes: the weight of history and topography. In Gassin, sloping land and views of the bay are at the heart of conflicts. An easement of passage, view, or water drainage can burden your property or, conversely, be an essential right. What few people know: an easement can be acquired by thirty-year prescription. Has your neighbor been using a path on your land for 30 years? They can claim the right. I assist you in enforcing an easement or, conversely, in challenging it before the Grasse Judicial Court (competent for Gassin), by producing the necessary historical or technical evidence.
Encroachment and boundary marking: defending your land assets. A party wall that leans, a fence that protrudes, a terrace built partly on your land... Encroachment is frequent, especially during new constructions. The first step is a bailiff's report and often a surveyor's expertise. Then, one must negotiate demolition or compensation commensurate with the loss of value suffered. In the most serious cases, such as a abandonment of site leaving encroaching structures, action must be swift and determined. At the same time, if a neighboring construction project seems illegal to you, it is sometimes possible to challenge a building permit to protect your environment.
