Hidden Defects — Residential, Commercial, and
Industrial Properties
Buying or selling a property is often a major transaction involving
significant financial stakes. When a latent defect is discovered after the sale, the
consequences can be considerable: water infiltration, structural problems,
contamination, construction defects, foundation defects, mold, mechanical issues,
or non-compliance affecting the normal use of the building.
Our firm represents owners, buyers, sellers, investors, and businesses in
disputes involving hidden defects affecting residential, commercial,
and multi-unit buildings throughout Quebec.
Our services include, in particular:
- Analysis of appeals based on the legal guarantee of quality
- Claims for damages and diminished value
- Technical expertise and assessment of deficiencies
- Legal recourse against sellers, contractors, real estate brokers, professionals, or insurers
- Injunctions and urgent protective measures
- Out-of-court negotiations and settlements
- Legal proceedings before all civil courts
Our approach is based on a rigorous analysis of the facts, technical expertise, and the
applicable legal framework in order to effectively defend our clients’ interests, whether in
negotiations or complex litigation. We always prioritize out-of-court settlement negotiations
in our clients’ best interests, and our approach is consistently pragmatic and
cost-effective, to the benefit of our clients.
