Resolved Luxury Residential Construction Defect Dispute

Valdemars Law Firm represented the owner of a high-value residential property in Jūrmala in a construction defect dispute, securing a settlement under which the developer agreed to remedy the identified defects without court proceedings.

Background

Our client, a foreign investor, purchased a luxury residential property in Jūrmala. Following the first cold season after completion, a number of significant construction defects became apparent, raising concerns about the quality of the works and the developer's contractual obligations.

Our Role

We developed the client's legal strategy, coordinated the collection of technical evidence and worked with engineering specialists to assess the defects and prepare supporting documentation.

Based on the evidence gathered, we presented the client's position during negotiations and demonstrated why the developer faced significant legal risks if the dispute proceeded to court.

Outcome

The negotiations resulted in a settlement under which the developer agreed to remedy the construction defects.

The dispute was resolved without litigation, allowing the client to obtain a practical and commercially efficient solution while avoiding the time and costs associated with court proceedings.
