Me Zakine, VEFA and real estate law attorney in Saint-Pierre

You bought a new apartment under VEFA in Saint-Pierre and the construction site is accumulating delays? You are facing a defect in co-ownership or a neighborhood dispute over boundary issues? Frankly, these situations are my daily work. Specialized in real estate law and VEFA, and holding a doctorate in law, I regularly appear before the Tribunal de Saint-Pierre to defend buyers, co-owners, and owners. The reality? The legal texts are technical, the delays

What I often see in Saint-Pierre: buyers at a loss facing a developer who constantly postpones the delivery date. A delay in VEFA (Sale of Future State of Completion) is not inevitable. It triggers specific rights: formal notice, contract termination, claims for penalty payments or compensation. I guide you step by step, from analyzing your contract and specifications to legal action if necessary. To better understand your options, I invite you to consult my dedicated page on VEFA delay: what to do?. And if the construction site is completely halted, the procedure changes radically; discover my advice for manage a construction site abandonment.

But the handover can also hold surprises: defects, untreated reservations, non-conformities. There, construction law comes into play. I mobilize decennial liabilities, guarantees of perfect completion, and construction insurance to help you obtain the due repairs or compensation. Facing a builder or their insurer, you must speak the same language, technical and legal. That is what I do for you.

Once you have the keys, life in a condominium in Saint-Pierre can generate its own tensions. Votes on contested works, charges deemed abusive, conflicts within the homeowners' association board... These disagreements poison daily life. My expertise in real estate law and co-ownership allows for resolving situations, either through negotiation or, before the Tribunal of Saint-Pierre, through legal action. The goal is always to protect your investment and your living environment.

And then there's the neighborhood. In Saint-Pierre, land, views, and access have a history. A neighbor claims a right of way over your property? They're building a terrace that clearly encroaches on your land? These issues of easements and encroachment are explosive. What few people know: an easement can sometimes be extinguished by non-use. An encroachment, even minor, must be contested without delay to avoid prescription. I analyze titles, plans, the challenge to the building permit upstream.

In these cases, whether for a legal recourse in case of construction delay or for a dispute over a party wall, my method is identical: a precise listening to your situation, a rigorous analysis of your documents, and a clear explanation of possible solutions. Action is then taken with determination, whether through amicable means or litigation before the Tribunal of Saint-Pierre. Your peace of mind is the goal.
