Construction defects lawyer in Even Yehuda
Did you receive a new apartment in Even Yehuda and find damp, cracks, defective flooring or defects in the common property? The office handles construction defect cases against contractors and developers, and meetings are held at the office in Ness Ziona or elsewhere by prior arrangement.
In brief: document every defect, notify the seller in writing, give it a fair opportunity to repair (section 4B of the Sale (Apartments) Law) and check the inspection and warranty periods (section 4 and the Schedule). A monetary claim is, as a rule, time-barred after seven years (section 5(1) of the Prescription Law), counted from delivery of the apartment (section 6, and LCA 830/06 Gelman v. Cohen Development-Dra'ad). For a latent defect, time may start on the day of discovery (section 8), and the period from 7 October 2023 to 6 April 2024 is not counted (section 15A).
