Common Real Estate Disputes
Real estate disputes are not all made the same. There are many circumstances under which a dispute can arise. It is essential to be aware of the different types of real estate disputes if you own or are involved with real estate in any capacity. Real estate disputes include but are not limited to the following:
- Breach of contract
- Fraud
- Landlord/tenant issues
- Ownership disputes
- Partition Suits
- Boundary line disputes
- Tree disputes
There are many other ways in which a real estate dispute can arise. If you believe you may have legal issues regarding real estate, contact a civil lawyer as soon as possible. Your particular circumstances may not fall under the list above, but that does not mean you do not have legal recourse available to you. Make sure you reach out to a professional real estate litigator as soon as possible to evaluate your situation.
Real Estate Fraud in Virginia
In Virginia, real estate disputes caused by fraud are unfortunately common. Sellers misrepresent their property far too often. The buyer usually does not figure this out until it is too late. Sometimes people even sell or rent property that they do not own. As ridiculous as it sounds, these transactions often come to completion, resulting in the purchaser not having any legal right to the property they just purchased.
There are many more examples of real estate fraud that occur. People looking to defraud others are constantly innovating, finding new ways to take advantage of the hope and excitement of new buyers and renters. In Virginia, these people are subject to both civil and criminal charges.
If you think the seller defrauded you in a real estate transaction, do not wait around for them to have a change of heart. Contact a civil attorney today. An experienced real estate litigator will help you understand your options and do what is necessary to get your money back.
Real Estate Contract Disputes
In any real estate transaction, each party is required to sign a contract. The terms and conditions of the contract are binding upon each party once signed. Unfortunately, sometimes people do not adhere to the terms. If one party does not live up to every aspect of the contract, they are in breach of contract and you can file a legal claim.
In Virginia, to file a successful claim for breach of contract, all you have to show is that the other party violated the contract. You do not have to show that they did so willfully. You only need to show there was a contract violation and that you suffered damages as a result.
The terms of contract can be challenging to understand, and to be honest, boring to read. If you think you have a claim for breach of contract in a real estate dispute, do not try on your own to determine if the other party violated the contract. Contact an experienced lawyer to help you. A breach of contract lawyer will have the expertise and knowledge necessary to evaluate your contract and determine if you have a claim.
