Real estate disputes frequently arise when one party fails to fulfill their obligations under an Agreement of Purchase and Sale.

Common scenarios include:

• A buyer failing to secure financing and refusing to close

• A seller refusing to complete the transaction

• Discovery of undisclosed defects or encumbrances on title

• Financing collapsing before closing

• Misrepresentation regarding the condition of a property
  
  

When a transaction collapses, the legal consequences can include deposit forfeiture, damages claims, or court-ordered completion of the transaction.

Our firm assists clients with:

• Recovery or defense of real estate deposits

• Claims for damages resulting from failed transactions

• Enforcement of purchase agreements

• Litigation relating to misrepresentation or non-disclosure

• Claims for loss of opportunity or lost market value

In appropriate cases, courts may order specific performance, requiring the transaction to proceed as agreed.

In many real estate disputes, immediate legal action is necessary to protect a party’s property rights.

Our firm has experience seeking urgent remedies including:

• Certificates of Pending Litigation (CPL) to preserve property claims

• Injunctions preventing sales or transfers of property

• Specific performance orders enforcing real estate contracts

• Preservation of title interests during litigation

These remedies can be critical where a property is at risk of being sold, transferred, or encumbered while a dispute is ongoing.
