0850 532 6 999What is a hidden defect — does my situation qualify?
A hidden defect is one that could not be noticed at delivery and emerges later. Missing waterproofing is the classic example: the building only leaks when it rains or groundwater rises. In that case you have a right of action against the contractor.
How long do I have to file a lawsuit?
The general rule is 5 years from delivery. If the contractor is grossly at fault, the period can extend up to 20 years. Call us as soon as possible so you do not miss your deadline.
Can a building management sue over common areas?
Yes. For defects in common areas such as the roof, foundation and facade, proceedings can be run on behalf of the management with a resolution of the owners' assembly. In collective cases you deal with a single point of contact: us.
I am a tenant — do I have rights too?
You do. If the rented home suffers water damage, you may claim repair, rent reduction and, depending on the circumstances, compensation from the landlord. We will tell you the right route at the first call.
How much will it cost?
The initial assessment is free. Litigation costs and fees are set out in writing, transparently, at the first meeting based on the scope of your file — no surprise costs.
Which documents should I have?
The title deed, any sale contract, photos/videos of the damage, building-management resolutions and any prior assessments or repair quotes speed things up. Missing documents do not stop the process — we obtain them together.
