10 things you need to know about property law

By Me Zakine, real estate lawyer in Bordeaux

  1. co-ownership and its intricacies : Le droit de la copropriété est semblable à un bon vin bordelais : complexe, avec ses multiples nuances, et demandant un temps certain de maturation pour être pleinement apprécié. Cette complexité provient du règlement de copropriété, de l’état descriptif de division, des copropriétaires, des general meetings, des règles de majorité, des budgets etc.
  2. VEFA, its delays and communication problems But buyers beware of delays, a lack of transparency and communication, the quality of materials and developer secrecy!
  3. The syndicate of co-owners, the party responsible for conserving the building : Do you think you're walking into a simple meeting for the first time? Think again! Instead, you're entering an arena where every vote can spark off real conflict. The syndicat des copropriétaires is responsible for the conservation and maintenance of the building.
  4. The joint property, union representative : The condominium manager is a two-faced character. As both the guardian of the rules and a mediator, he is sometimes perceived as the 'big bad', but it is often he who, behind the scenes, manages tensions and ensures that everything runs smoothly. Of course, we lawyers sometimes cross swords with him, but always in a spirit of courtesy... almost always. He or she must work with the union council, which is chaired by the president of the union council and made up of a number of members appointed at the general meeting.
  5. Developers, builders, VEFA and CCMI Delay, delivery deadline, materials, defects, acceptance, ten-year guarantee, perfect completion, reservations, delivery report, handing over of keys, removal of reservations, summary proceedings, expert opinion, apparent defects, hidden defects, foreclosure, prescription, damages and interest, damages for work - these are some of the questions that may arise in the course of an inspection. construction law
