This decision provides important insight into your property law rights. Here is what it changes for you.
The situation
A Court of Appeal decision which, having ordered a property developer to repair the damage suffered, as a result of defects, by the purchasers of the flats towards whom it was under an obligation to achieve a result, limits the warranty owed by the architect and the contractor without examining the fault that contributed to the occurrence of the damage which the developer may have committed in the performance of the contract binding it to the latter, does not provide a legal basis for its decision.
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 bringing a claim
- Keep all your supporting documents (title deeds, deeds, correspondence)
- Plan ahead: preventive advice always costs less than litigation
