A property dispute may involve several actors: the registered owner, developer, contractor, sales company and estate agent. Their commercial cooperation does not automatically make each legally liable for every promise. The first task is to identify who made which commitment, who received payment and what the written documents require.
Foreign buyers should preserve both official records and marketing evidence. A glossy brochure alone may not prove every contractual term, but advertisements, messages and representations can still matter when assessed with the contract and payment history.
Check company names, registration details, signatories, project ownership and payment recipients. An agent who introduced the sale is not necessarily the seller, while separate liability may arise from its own statements or conduct.
Claims against directors, shareholders or related companies require a distinct legal basis and should not be added without evidence.
The contract should be examined for delivery date, title-transfer conditions, extensions, force majeure, penalties, termination and refund. Repeated verbal promises do not safely amend the buyer’s position.
Send written reservations and formal notices where appropriate. Continuing to wait can affect evidence, limitation and available interim measures.
Document defects with dated photographs, expert review and a detailed handover record. Compare the delivered unit and common facilities with the contract, technical specification and approved plans.
The remedy may involve repair, completion, price reduction, damages, replacement or termination depending on the legal relationship and seriousness of the problem.
A deposit receipt should identify the property, payer, recipient, purpose and refund conditions. Commissions and legal charges should be separated from the purchase price.
Cash payments, personal accounts and inconsistent company names create proof difficulties. Collect bank records and contemporaneous communications immediately.
Whether the buyer qualifies as a consumer and which court or tribunal is competent depend on the transaction and parties. Mandatory mediation may apply before certain court claims.
Interim attachment, injunction or evidence preservation may be considered where the statutory conditions exist. These remedies are not automatic and require specific evidence.
Not automatically. Liability depends on the agent’s contract, authority, statements and conduct.
The answer depends on the receipt, contract, reason for cancellation and applicable law.
Obtain advice and record every defect and reservation in writing before signing handover documents.
Often representation is possible through a suitable power of attorney, subject to evidence and procedural requirements.
