Construction, co-ownership, VEFA in Saint-Henri — the expertise of Me Zakine
Saint-Henri, with its dynamic real estate market, is seeing a proliferation of new developments and renovation projects. What I often see in Saint-Henri are buyers, whether individuals or investors, facing the complexities of buying off-plan or disputes that arise after delivery. Frankly, developers don't explain everything to you. My role, as a specialized lawyer and doctor of law, is to give you the legal tools to protect your investment,
VEFA (Sale in Future State of Completion) is a technical process, governed by strict regulations. Delivery delays are commonplace. The reality? The developer often invokes external contingencies to justify their delay and attempts to avoid the penalties owed to you. I help you demand them, firmly. For defects or unresolved reservations, you must not wait. Act before the lifting of reservations. On my site, I detail the steps to take when facing VEFA delay: what to do?. In the most serious cases, such as a abandonment of site, swift action is vital to secure your funds.
Beyond off-plan sales (VEFA), construction law applies to all your works. Builder, architect, company: their liabilities are engaged for 10 years (decennial guarantee) and 2 years (guarantee of perfect completion). What few people know: your construction damage insurance is a decisive lever to have urgent repairs carried out without having to prove fault. I assist you in these often conflictual procedures.
Once delivered, the building often becomes a co-ownership. Conflicts are frequent there: disputes over charges, authorization for works, nuisances between neighbors. My expertise in real estate law and co-ownership allows easing tensions or, if necessary, defending your rights before the competent tribunal, such as the Saint-Henri judicial tribunal. Managing a co-ownership in Saint-Henri requires a thorough knowledge of regulations and procedures.
The urban fabric of Saint-Henri, sometimes old, also generates neighborhood disputes based on easements. A right of way that becomes bothersome, a view obstructed by a new construction, rainwater runoff flowing onto your property... These real rights, often recorded in notarial deeds, must be interpreted and, if necessary, challenged. Similarly, encroachment – a neighbor's wall extending onto your land – is a clear infringement of your property. It requires a reaction challenge a building permit issued based on erroneous plans.
My approach is concrete. I decipher for you the contracts, estimates, meeting minutes. I negotiate with adversaries and their lawyers to find a quick resolution. If negotiation fails, I defend you before the courts, including the tribunal of Saint-Henri, with a clear and documented strategy. Your project in Saint-Henri deserves total legal security. That is what I bring you.
