A breach occurs when one party fails to perform a material term of the contract. This can include failing to close on the closing date, missing contingencies, or breaching disclosures. The nonbreaching party may seek remedies such as damages, specific performance, or contract termination. Remedies depend on the contract and the facts of the case.
California allows suits for breach within the statute of limitations applicable to written contracts, typically four years, but some issues may require different timelines. It is important to discuss deadlines with an attorney promptly to preserve remedies.
Remedies can include monetary damages, specific performance, rescission, or termination. In some cases, attorney’s fees may be recoverable by the prevailing party under the contract or statute.
Contingencies can be used to terminate contracts if not satisfied. If contingencies fail, relief may include termination or damages depending on terms. The specific contract governs remedies.
While not strictly required, having a lawyer help navigate complex contract terms, deadlines, and potential remedies often leads to a stronger strategy and clearer options.
Bring the purchase agreement, deposits records, disclosures, correspondence, and any related notices. Having a clear file helps your attorney assess options quickly.
Mediation is commonly attempted before litigation to facilitate a settlement, though court action may be necessary if mediation fails. Our team can guide you through the process.
Real estate litigation timelines vary, but cases can take months to years depending on complexity, court availability, and whether the matter proceeds to trial.
Specific performance is a court order requiring the seller to complete the sale as agreed, often used when monetary damages are insufficient to fix the breach.
Costs can include attorney fees, court fees, expert costs, and discovery expenses. Some costs may be recoverable by the prevailing party depending on the contract and statute.
