Construction-for-Flat Contracts

Disputes between landowner and contractor on default, transfer of title, defects and termination in construction-for-flat arrangements.

The construction-for-flat contract, under which independent units are delivered in return for land shares, is among the most litigious real-estate contracts in practice. Form, transfer of title, delivery, defective performance, penalty clauses and the consequences of termination sit at the intersection of the law of obligations and land-registry law.

The office represents the client at every stage, from formation of the contract through construction servitude and condominium ownership, from the contractor’s default to the landowner’s allegations of defective performance.
