Real Estate & Common Conflicts  

When it comes to buying and selling property, there is always a potential for conflicts and disputes among the parties because everyone is trying to get a better deal. Reasons conflicts may arise between the parties in real estate transactions vary from one case to another. Common causes of such disputes include: 

1. Failure to disclose. One of the most common causes of conflicts between sellers and buyers is the seller’s failure to disclose material defects, which can lead to misrepresentation claims. In real estate law, the seller has an obligation to disclose everything that a buyer would consider “material” to the purchase.  

2. Contract issues. When contracts are not drafted with the help of an attorney, they often contain vague language or ambiguous terms. This can cause the parties to misinterpret the terms of the contract and lead to disputes in the long run. Regardless of how the contract is written, breaching any of its terms can lead to conflicts and litigation between the parties.  

3. Failure to perform. Conflicts may also arise when either party fails to close without good reason. For example, if the buyer fails to follow through with a closing by not paying the agreed-upon sum of money on time, litigation may ensue.  

One of the most effective ways to prevent such conflicts and disputes is to retain the services of a real estate attorney. Our real estate attorneys at Detroit Legal Group PLLC have the experience and resources to help you navigate the legal issues of your transaction and resolve any disputes that may arise in the process.
