Construction, co-ownership, VEFA in Cassis — the expertise of Me Zakine
La côte, les calanques, le marché immobilier tendu. À Cassis, la pression foncière est palpable. Elle génère des projets ambitieux, des rénovations complexes, mais aussi des litiges techniques où l’émotion prend vite le pas sur le droit. Acquérir un bien en VEFA dans ce secteur ou gérer un héritage immobilier face à la mer n’a rien d’une simple formalité. Les enjeux financiers sont colossaux. Ce qui frappe à Cassis, ce sont des acquéreurs, parfois étrangers, séduits par la promesse d’une résidence neuve, qui se heurtent ensuite à la dure réalité des retards de livraison ou des malfaçons sur des prestations haut de gamme. Or, sur le terrain, Un contrat de VEFA ou de CCMI est un document technique, déséquilibré, où le promoteur est en position de force. Ma démarche : rétablir l’équilibre. Concrètement, je vous accompagne dès la réception des réserves, je négocie avec le constructeur, et si nécessaire, j’engage les actions devant le Tribunal judiciaire de Marseille, competent for Cassis. Do not let a delay VEFA drag on without reaction.
Construction law here has its specificities. Perched villas, sloped extensions, foundations on rock... Each construction site is a technical challenge. In case of defects, the liability of builders and the guarantees (ten-year, two-year, perfect completion) come into play. But you still need to know how to invoke them, and at what time. Construction damage insurance is a crucial lever to have repairs carried out quickly, without having to wait for the outcome of a long pro
In the old real estate of Cassis, the co-ownership is often the scene of conflicts. Charges, improvement works, management of common areas... Disagreements can paralyze a building. I advise both homeowners' associations and individual co-owners to resolve situations, vote on necessary works, or challenge irregular decisions. Managing a co-ownership facing the sea also involves specific constraints (erosion, regulations of classified sites) that must be anticipated.
Easements are the other major source of litigation in Cassis. The rugged terrain, the quest for views, and rainwater runoff create rights and obligations between neighbors. An ancestral right of way, a view obstructed by a new construction, water runoff causing damage... These situations degrade daily life. I help you enforce your rights or, conversely, challenge an easement you deem abusive. Sometimes, this challenge to the building permit from the neighbor if they disregard local urban planning rules.
Finally, encroachment. In Cassis, where every square meter is priceless, it is not uncommon for a wall, a swimming pool, or a fence to encroach on the neighboring land. These situations, often discovered during a sale or boundary marking, are explosive. It's not just about having it demolished. The damage must be assessed, a negotiated solution for financial compensation or land transfer sought, and, as a last resort, legal action taken to have one's right of p construction delay or a ten-year-old neighborhood dispute, my approach remains the same: a rigorous technical analysis of the case, coupled with a clear legal strategy, to defend your interests with the utmost firmness.
