PROPERTY DISPUTE

A legal issue concerning real estate is called a property dispute. Any property could be involved, including a house, an empty lot, a road, a business, or a pond.

Most property conflicts are caused by disagreements about ownership, who should pay for repairs, zoning concerns, or circumstances where something that happens on one property affects another. For instance, a quarrel could occur when a new house obstructs the view of another property or when there is confusion over the property border.

The common type of property disputes –

Breach Of Contract

When someone breaches a real estate contract, the other party may seek damages to compensate for their losses. For instance, it may be deemed a breach of contract if a tenant does not adhere to the conditions established in a lease or a property buyer does not pay the agreed-upon amount to the seller.

Real estate fraud

Real estate fraud happens when a party intentionally misleads another party to get more money or another desired resource out of a negotiation. Common types of real estate fraud include straw buyer schemes, illegal property flipping, and predatory lending.

Boundary Disputes

Boundary disputes can arise between neighbors when they disagree on where the property line lies. These disputes are more likely to occur if the property boundaries were never clearly registered or a practical property line supersedes the legal line.

Specific Performance

A specific performance property dispute can arise in some situations when one of the parties to a real estate contract does not perform an agreed-upon material action. The court may grant specific performance to force the party in breach to do what they promised rather than simply attempting to resolve the issue with money, as with other contract disputes.
