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:
-
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.
-
-
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.
-
-
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.
-
-
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.
-
-
Legal recourse :
-
Si la mise en demeure reste sans effet et que le promoteur ne remédie pas à la situation, il peut être judicieux de consulter un avocat expert en droit immobilier pour envisager un recours juridique.
-
-
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.
-
-
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.

Can I obtain damages for defects in a CCMI?
Yes, if defects are noted before or after completion, you can claim repair. The perfect completion warranty (1 year) and the ten-year warranty (10 years) cover certain defects. A lawyer will help you gather evidence and initiate recourse.

What to do if the developer does not respect the specifications of the VEFA contract?
You must first notify the developer by registered letter with acknowledgment of receipt. In the absence of a solution, you can refer the matter to the judicial court to obtain specific performance or damages. A lawyer will analyze the contract clauses.
What is the ten-year warranty and how to invoke it?
The ten-year guarantee covers damage that compromises the solidity of the structure or renders it unfit for its purpose for 10 years after handover. To invoke it, you must put the builder on notice and, if necessary, take the matter to court. A lawyer will assist you in this complex procedure.
