Common Real Estate Issues in San Diego County

There are several issues or problems that can arise before, during or even after a real estate transaction, and the firm has helped clients deal with the following situations:

• Title defect - If the owner of a property has had financial or tax problems, it could prevent a title to land from passing to another. There are also situations in which the borders of a plot of land are in dispute, and this can also create a stressful and antagonistic situation for everyone involved.


• Liens - Liens are basically forms of financial interests that attach to land. They can arise from unpaid taxes or other judgments against the property owner, and these liens must be paid before title to land can pass.


• Unaccounted for encumbrances - There could be other attachments to a plot's title that the seller did not report to the buyer, and this also creates a complicated and difficult situation for all of the parties involved.


• Unfulfilled contingencies - Contingencies are basically contractual clauses that must occur before the remaining tenets of a contract become enforceable. If contingencies are not fulfilled, it could lead to serious problems with the ultimate transfer of property.


• Failure to disclose defects - California law requires that defects to property are to be disclosed to the buyer before the final purchase is made. Failure to do so could give rise to litigation.

Basically, a lot can go wrong when property is being transferred. When any of these situations arise, the technicalities involved with finding an equitable solution can be very difficult. One of the most overlooked but most appreciated services that a law firm of San Diego real estate lawyers can provide for a client is to carefully review a purchase contract before it's signed. Doing so will not only provide the buyer peace of mind, but will also help to uncover any potential problems that could arise before they get worse and more expensive to deal with properly.
