Construction Defect Claims & Latent Defects

Purchasing a new-build property is a significant investment. However, discovering structural issues, dampness, or poor finishes after the keys are handed over can be a distressing experience. At TA Lawyers, we specialize in holding developers, builders, and insurance companies accountable for construction errors.

To provide you with absolute clarity and peace of mind, our legal team offers full support in English, Spanish, and Chinese中文, ensuring you can navigate the complex claims process in your own language.

Under the Spanish Building Act (Ley de Ordenación de la Edificación – LOE), you are protected by specific warranty periods:

1 Year: For defects in finishes and aesthetics (carpentry, paint, tiling).

3 Years: For defects affecting habitability (dampness, leaks, poor insulation).

10 Years: For structural defects that compromise the stability and safety of the building.

Our Services Include:

Trilingual Legal Support: Dedicated assistance and communication in English, Spanish, and Chinese throughout your entire claim.

Legal Contract Review: Analyzing your purchase agreement, technical specifications, and the Libro del Edificio (Building Book).

Expert Coordination: We work alongside Peritos (technical architects) to document damages and provide a solid, objective technical report.

Out-of-Court Negotiations: Sending formal legal demands (Burofaxes) to reach a swift resolution and avoid unnecessary litigation.

Litigation: Professional representation in the Alicante and Murcia courts if the builder refuses to rectify the defects.
