The seller of a let property

This decision provides important clarification on your property law. Here is what it changes for you.

The situation

The seller of a property let under a residential lease is not represented by the purchaser in the proceedings to validate the notice to quit, served before the sale, brought by the latter against the tenant, so that he is entitled to lodge a third-party opposition against the decision ruling on the validity of the notice to quit

What the law says

This decision confirms the fundamental principles of property law.

Key points to remember

• Strictly comply with the statutory time limits for appeals
• Keep all your supporting documents (title deeds, deeds, correspondence)
• Anticipate: preventive advice always costs less than litigation
