Realty Issues Commonly Leading to Legal Action

When a realty deal goes awry, legal disputes often arise.  In some circumstances the seller of a property may suffer losses and in other circumstances it is the buyer that suffers harm.  Regardless of which side of a troubled realty transaction you are on, professional legal advice should be sought.

Note: Please contact Paladin LLP by phone at: (289) 925-1572 to discuss any specific questions that you may have.

Common Issues

Frequently occuring realty dispute issues that give rise to litigation involve, among other things:

  • The failure to close in broom swept condition;
  • The failure to close whereas a buyer abandons the agreement;
  • The improper removal of fixtures or certain chattels prior to closing;
  • The failure to properly close a pool or perform other maintenance;
  • The failure to disclose details regarding a latent defect; and
  • The improper concealment of a patent defect.

NOTE: A considerable amount of online inquiries featuring “lawyers near me” or “best lawyer in” typically indicate a pressing need for competent legal assistance rather than merely looking for a specific title.  In Ontario, “licensed paralegals” are governed by the same Law Society that regulates lawyers, granting them the authority to represent clients in certain legal disputes.  Skills in advocacy, legal reasoning, and procedural expertise are vital to this function.  Paladin LLP provides legal representation within its licensed framework, focusing on strategic positioning, evidence preparation, and effective advocacy aimed at securing efficient and beneficial outcomes for clients.
