Question: What should I do if the seller or buyer in my Ontario real estate deal failed to close or withheld required disclosures?

Realty Issues Commonly Leading to Legal Action

When a realty deal goes awry, legal disputes often arise.  In some circumstances the seller of a property may suffer losses and in other circumstances it is the buyer that suffers harm.  Regardless of which side of a troubled realty transaction you are on, professional legal advice should be sought.

Common Issues

Frequently occuring realty dispute issues that give rise to litigation involve, among other things:

  • The failure to close in broom swept condition;
  • The failure to close whereas a buyer abandons the agreement;
  • The improper removal of fixtures or certain chattels prior to closing;
  • The failure to properly close a pool or perform other maintenance;
  • The failure to disclose details regarding a latent defect; and
  • The improper concealment of a patent defect.

NOTE: A significant number of online searches for “lawyers near me” or “best lawyer in” typically highlight a desire for prompt and effective legal support rather than a particular title.  In Ontario, “licensed paralegals” are supervised by the same Law Society that governs lawyers and are permitted to represent clients in specific litigation issues.  Skills such as advocacy, legal analysis, and procedural expertise are fundamental to this position.  Olson Craig Legal provides legal representation within its licensed framework, focusing on strategic positioning, evidentiary preparation, and persuasive advocacy designed to secure efficient and advantageous outcomes for clients.
