Real estate lawyer: the developer is delaying, the tenant is not paying or your prepayment is stuck — we protect your money.
We help you structure real estate transactions and resolve disputes: at a fixed price, with a reply the same or next business day.
The developer extends the deadline again, and your prepayment is already in their hands. Or a tenant stops paying and will not leave. The longer you wait, the fewer options you have, and the higher the costs and the money lost.
- Developer delays, prepayment refunds and contractual penalties
- Review of sale and lease contracts before you sign
A first call helps us understand whether and how we can help.

Six situations in which buyers, sellers and landlords need help
A developer keeps postponing handover
The building was meant to be ready, but the deadline keeps moving. Third parties are blamed, and your prepayment is already with the developer.
Prepayment and preliminary contract
Is your prepayment protected, and what happens if the building is not completed or the deadline slips?
Defects in a new apartment
The developer does not fix them, answers slowly or goes silent. What are your rights?
A commercial lease before you sign
Indexation, repair obligations, termination terms — who carries the risk?
A tenant does not pay or will not leave
Arrears keep growing. How do you terminate the lease and recover the money?
A sale and purchase contract
The notary receives a contract whose terms are already agreed. Are they in your favour?
He prepaid €26,500 and the building was not finished. The money came back — plus €20,000 on top.
When a developer extends the deadline "just a bit more", the question is: how much longer do you wait? This case shows what happens when you act in time.
What happened
The client bought an apartment in an unfinished building and prepaid €26,500. The building was supposed to be ready in seven months. The developer kept extending the deadline and blamed third parties.
The turning point
When the client grew tired of waiting, they came to us. We took over the entire process.
What we did
We started court proceedings in time. Precise, fast steps meant the case did not drag on for a year or a year and a half in court, but took a few months.
The result
The client got the entire prepayment of €26,500 back and additionally recovered a €20,000 contractual penalty from the developer for breach of obligations.
What to take from it
- Do not wait indefinitely — the sooner your rights are clear, the more options you have
- Check the deadline, prepayment, penalty and right of withdrawal in your contract
- Keep all correspondence with the developer
- Speak to a lawyer before you agree to a new deadline
This case is anonymised. Every situation is different — this is not legal advice or a guarantee of results.
