VEFA Lawyer Reims: secure your off-plan purchase

In Reims, the VEFA market is dynamic, driven by new programs in the Orgeval, Courlancy, and city center districts. The Reims judicial court has jurisdiction over disputes relating to reservation contracts, delivery delays, or defects. Our firm assists you in negotiating clauses, verifying guarantees, and lifting suspensive conditions. We also intervene in litigation before this court to assert your rights

Construction law in Reims is marked by strong activity in eco-districts (Cernay, Châtillons) and compliance with the Local Urban Plan (PLU) revised in 2023. Builders must comply with RE2020 standards and local architectural requirements. Our firm advises you on contracts for the construction of individual houses (CCMI) and works contracts, and represents you in case of disputes with contractors or insurers. We verify the compliance

Co-ownership in Reims concerns many old buildings in the city center and new residences. Co-ownership charges vary by district, with an average of €3.5/m²/month. Our firm assists you with general meetings, contesting charges, or urgent works. We also intervene for the conversion of Reims buildings into co-ownership and appeals against abusive syndics.

Easements in Reims are common in dense urban areas (rights of way, views, drainage). The PLU imposes alignment and setback easements. Our firm helps you identify easements when purchasing a property, negotiate their removal, or defend your rights in case of encroachment. We also draft deeds creating conventional easements.

Encroachments are common in Reims, especially in old condominiums (balconies, fences). The Tribunal Judiciaire of Reims rules on these disputes. Our firm advises you to regularize or stop an encroachment, and assists you in boundary or possessory action procedures. Contact us for a free evaluation of your situation and defense of your interests before the Reims courts.

Excellent solicitor whom I highly recommend. She resolved a very complex matter for me involving a co-ownership association and its managing agent, with a clear strategy. After consulting with numerous solicitors without result, she was the only one who truly took the time to analyse the situation in depth and build a genuine strategy. Responsive, rigorous and very committed, you can trust her implicitly. Thank you Maître Zakine.

I made an appointment with Maître Zakine for a 1-hour consultation in his office. I needed clarification regarding a dispute with my trustee. Punctual and courteous, Maître Zakine took my problem into consideration and proved to be very professional, giving me excellent advice. I initially thought that we would have covered the issue in half an hour; but the hour ultimately passed quickly. To be recommended without reservation.
