How we work
From first consultation to judgment
Consultation
We review your contract, payments and correspondence with the developer, and tell you plainly where you stand.
Formal notice
Where needed, we send the developer a formal notice that records your rights and preserves them.
Negotiation
A dispute can settle once the developer sees a well-prepared file, so we negotiate before going to court when it serves you.
Court
If needed, we file the case and represent you from first instance to appeal, and keep you informed at each step.
Before you visit
Documents to bring
Copies are enough; keep the originals with you.
- The reservation form and sale contract, with all annexes
- Payment receipts and the instalment schedule
- The brochure or advertisement you relied on
- Letters and messages exchanged with the developer
- The handover report and photos of the unit, if you have received it
Questions
Frequently asked questions
The unit doesn't match the contract. Should I sign the handover report?
Inspect the unit before signing and record every difference from the contract in the handover report itself, or in a separate letter to the developer. Signing a report that says the unit was received in good condition can make a later claim harder. If you are unsure, talk to us before you sign.
