Construction, co-ownership, VEFA in Fayence — the expertise of Me Zakine
Do you have a real estate project in Fayence or are you facing a dispute? The setting is idyllic, but the problems are very real. Frankly, whether you are a buyer in a new development, a co-owner, or the owner of a single-family home, the legal risks are numerous. Maître Cécile Zakine, lawyer and doctor of law, intervenes in Fayence and throughout the Var to defend you. Her law firm in Antibes specializes in complex real estate law cases, from
Let's start with VEFA (Sale in Future State of Completion) and CCMI. What I often see in Fayence, with the development of new subdivisions, are consecutive delivery delays. The developer cites bad weather, administrative delays. The reality? These delays have an enormous financial and psychological cost for you. I help you put the seller on notice, demand delay penalties and, if necessary, take action to terminate the sale. Defects and Judicial Court of Draguignan, competent for the Fayence area. Do not remain alone facing a developer who minimizes your claims. Consult my detailed page on the VEFA delay: what to do? to understand your rights.
Beyond VEFA (Sale of Future Real Estate), construction law applies to all your projects. The liability of builders (project owner, architect, contractors) is engaged for ten years for defects affecting the structural integrity of the work. The ten-year guarantee is crucial. I assist you in invoking these guarantees, often facing reluctant insurers. The construction damage insurance is your best ally to have urgent repairs carried out without advancing the funds. Do not neglect it.
In Fayence, co-ownerships, especially in residences with a view, are numerous. So are conflicts. Disputed charges, works decided in a general meeting that seem useless or too costly to you, management problems. These situations generate permanent tension. My expertise in real estate law and co-ownership allows for analyzing meeting minutes, contesting irregular decisions, and finding solutions to ease conflicts, sometimes even before legal action at the Tribunal.
Easements and encroachments are sensitive topics in an area like Fayence, where land is often sloped and panoramic views are crucial. An easement of passage not respected, a neighbor obstructing your view, runoff water cascading onto your land due to construction... These are infringements on your property. Action must be taken. I advise you on how to enforce your rights or, conversely, challenge an easement that is alleged. building permit of the neighbor upstream can avoid conflict.
The most critical situation remains theabandonment of site. You have paid deposits and nothing is moving. The company has disappeared. You must react very quickly to secure the construction site, identify responsibilities, and initiate legal actions to recover your funds or have the work resumed. What few people know: even in these crisis situations, legal solutions exist. Do not give up.
