Me Zakine, VEFA and real estate law attorney in Saint-Menet
Vous avez acheté un appartement neuf en VEFA à Saint-Menet et le chantier accumule les retards ? Vous découvrez des malfaçons dans votre maison ou êtes en conflit avec un voisin à propos d’une servitude ? Ces situations, je les rencontre quotidiennement. Le droit immobilier est un univers technique exigeant pour les non-initiés. Mon rôle, en tant qu’avocate docteure en droit et avocat, est de vous guider et de défendre vos intérêts avec une stratégie claire. À Saint-Menet comme ailleurs, les enjeux sont concrets : votre investissement, votre logement, votre tranquillité.
Commençons par la VEFA et la CCMI. Ce qui revient sans cesse à Saint-Menet, ce sont des promoteurs qui communiquent des délais de livraison trop optimistes. Le jour de la remise des clés arrive, et le chantier n’est pas terminé. Concrètement, Vous avez des droits. Des retards non justifiés ouvrent droit à des pénalités de retard, souvent substantielles. Mais il faut agir dans les formes et les délais. Je vous accompagne pour mettre en demeure le vendeur, négocier une indemnisation et, si nécessaire, saisir le Saint-Menet Court. Unreserved defects and construction flaws upon handover are another pitfall. Do not sign the certificate of reservation release until the work is perfect.

Beyond delivery, the ten-year guarantee and the damage insurance (assurance dommages-ouvrage) come into play. A structural crack, waterproofing problems... These issues fall under the builders' ten-year liability. What few people know: enforcing these guarantees against insurers and companies is a technical battle. I prepare your expert file, I negotiate with opposing experts, and I pursue your claim until compensation is obtained. In the most serious cases abandonment of site, swift legal action is imperative to protect your contribution.
In condominiums, conflicts are commonplace. Disputed charges, work decided in a general meeting that directly impacts you, nuisances between neighbors… These disputes poison life. My expertise in real estate law and co-ownership offers you recourse. I advise you on the regularity of general meeting decisions, I intervene to have an irregular vote annulled, or I ensure your defense if you are challenged. The objective is always the same: to defuse the crisis or, failing that, to prevail before the judge.
Easements and encroachments are major sources of tension in individual real estate in Saint-Menet. A neighbor claims a right of way over your land? A new construction blocks your view or alters water runoff? These easements, whether written or presumed, must be interpreted rigorously. I help you enforce them or, conversely, challenge them if they are abusive. For an encroachment – a wall, a fence, or a terra challenge to the building permit before the work is too far advanced.
In these cases, every detail matters. A contract clause, a statute of limitations deadline, a poorly drafted letter can change everything. My approach, informed by my dual role as a lawyer and a Doctor of Law, is both strategic and pragmatic. I always prioritize negotiation when possible, as it is often faster and less costly. But when the other party remains unresponsive, I do not hesitate to initiate the legal recourse in case of construction delay or litigation before the competent Judicial Court, including that of Saint-Menet. Your project deserves uncompromising defense.
