Real Estate Lawyer

Read your contract to see what is in it first..If its a SOE,it will be more difficult.

hi Mike,

I am a real estate lawyer. I can help you with legal issues on real estate business in a cost-effective way. In order to help you, we need to meet and discuss what is going with your matter.

However, according to your facts, we have to look at the purchase contract first in order to determine what remedies you can ask for. Aside from the purchase contract, the law of contract allows you to seek for compensation and damages if Seller fails to perform its contractual obligations. Damages must be actual and directly connected to contractual non-performance. If Buyer refuses to pay for damages, you has to bring the case against Buyer in court. However, before taking any legal actions, you need to negotiate with Buyer first and see whether Buyer agree to pay damages. Hope it would help.

Best regards,

Rudy Bui

hi Mike,

I correct the last sentence, it would be Seller, not Buyer: "If Seller refuses to pay for damages, you has to bring the case against Seller in court. However, before taking any legal actions, you need to negotiate with Seller first and see whether Seller agree to pay damages"

If you need to discuss further, feel free to contact me.

Thanks in advance!

I would, and not a lawyer that is reccomended by the seller.

You need to have the seller provide a contract interpreted into you language by a certified government translator and not just take the word of your attorney. These people protect their own much of the time. They can screw you in a heartbeat and you have little recourse even under the law. The law works for the one who pays the most lobbying money.

What is "SOE"? Can you be more specific?

You should use the quote tab, it makes things easier.

SOE...State Owned Enterprises. The clowns that run these are all about lining pockets....theirs.

Got it... So you mean the SOE is less reliable?

Put it this way.

My ex-gf bought in a government owned and built building. The workmanship was deplorable. The manager of the site was jailed for corruption, nuff said.

Thanks for your advice.

Hi saw the thread and just wondering whether you have managed to find a good lawyer? We are also buying a resale property so would definitely be helpful to have someone who is in the know.
