Common situations

The situations that reach us most often, explained without legal jargon. Open a card to read more.

Buying a home: what to check before signing

Buying a home: what to check before signing

The land registry certificate, the tax register, the use permit and the energy certificate reveal whether the property carries mortgages, attachments or unlicensed works. We check before you are committed.

Eviction proceedings

Eviction proceedings

Unpaid rent or the end of a contract does not entitle you to remove a tenant yourself. There is a legal route, with set deadlines, and it is the only one that has any effect.

Promissory contract and deed

Promissory contract and deed

It is the promissory contract that binds you. Without signatures witnessed in person you may lose the right to enforce the deed in court. We draft and review before you sign.

Renting without a written contract

Renting without a written contract

A verbal tenancy is valid and gives both parties rights, contrary to what many people believe. We help you prove the relationship and put the situation in order.

Landlord's rights and duties

Landlord's rights and duties

Owning the property does not give you the right to enter it unannounced. Rent, works, increases and ending a tenancy each have rules of their own. We advise both landlords and tenants.

Defects in a new-build

Defects in a new-build

Damp, cracks or faulty fittings may be covered by warranty, with different deadlines depending on the defect. We check whether you are still in time to claim.
