My neighbour claims a right of way. Can I terminate my contract with my estate agent immediately? The general meeting of my apartment building refuses permission to install charging stations…
More than 65% of Belgians have built or purchased their own home. Many people also own several properties and hold them through real estate companies.
As the owner, landlord or tenant of a house or apartment, you may face a wide range of questions. These may concern contractual relationships, such as seller and buyer, landlord and tenant, or client and estate agent, or issues of property law such as usufruct, easements, building rights and condominium co-ownership.
Contracts are becoming increasingly complex. Consider the many variations used when selling a home, including the traditional preliminary sale agreement, a purchase option or reciprocal purchase and sale promises. Regulation is also continuing to expand despite repeated calls for simplification, including asbestos rules, soil legislation, energy standards, protected status and flood-risk zones.
Through online research, with or without the help of Artificial Intelligence, both private individuals and real estate professionals can find a great deal of information. But caution is essential: much of that information is inaccurate, every case is different and, beyond correctly assessing the legal problem, you also need strategic and procedural guidance. Should you start proceedings or opt for a negotiated solution? What are the precise consequences of litigation and how long might proceedings before the competent court take?
