Regarding Off-plan Sales

This decision provides important insight into your property law. Here is what it changes for you.

The situation

In off-plan sales, a clause providing for referral to the opinion of a qualified person, in the absence of agreement between the parties on completion, does not prevent the judge from verifying that this opinion complies with the completion criteria defined by Article R. 261-1 of the Construction and Housing Code.

What the law says

This decision confirms the fundamental principles of property law.

Points to remember

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