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.

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 safety of the building.

Our Services Include:

Legal Contract Review: Analyzing your purchase agreement and technical specifications.

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

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

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