Facing a Settlement Delay or Contract Breach? Know Your Legal Rights

Settlement is a critical stage of any property transaction. When one party fails to meet the agreed terms or timeframes, it can cause serious financial loss. Common issues include delayed finance, incomplete documents, or refusal to settle on time. These may amount to a breach of contract depending on the circumstances.

A property lawyer can explain your rights and remedies, including issuing notices to complete, claiming damages, or terminating the contract where necessary. Acting quickly can prevent penalties and protect your deposit or property interest.

Law Tram connects you with experienced lawyers who handle settlement disputes and contract breaches to help you achieve a practical resolution.
