While it’s not always required to hire a real estate attorney, it’s highly recommended that you do so. There are many contracts involved, as well as large sums of money, so it’s a good idea to have a real estate attorney by your side to help you navigate the process and look out for your best interests.
Prior to closing on a home or plot of land, you should have a real estate attorney perform a title search to ensure it’s free of any lingering claims or liens. If you’re purchasing a home, it’s also a good idea to hire an inspector to ensure there are no urgent repair needs that could affect your contract.
In this case, you should immediately contact your real estate attorney to notify them of the incomplete repairs. Your attorney will be able to connect with the sellers and find out whether or not plans were made and they just haven’t completed the repairs yet. Alternatively, if no plans were made, you may be able to file a real estate law case against the seller or back out of your contract without penalty. Contact the real estate attorneys at Matheson Law Firm to understand what options may be available.
If you’ve purchased a property being sold as-is, it’s often the responsibility of the buyer to handle any needed repairs. However, each sale is different, and therefore would benefit from the eye of a skilled real estate attorney.
If you’re planning to sell your home, you’ll want to make sure there are no existing claims or liens on your property. You will also need to determine what items will be included in the sale, and what is the lowest offer you’d be willing to accept.
Sellers are required to disclose all defects upfront; however, a real estate attorney will be able to guide you on what your options may be. Failure to disclose property defects can result in a lawsuit.
