San Diego and California real estate is some of the most expensive property in all of the United States. If the dispute at hand involves real estate, the financial consequences of the dispute are bound to be substantial. Even a boundary dispute or a neighbor who has damaged or cut down trees can lead to a substantial six or seven-figure dispute.
Real estate disputes are much different than a typical business dispute. There are different available remedies in a real estate dispute than a typical business dispute. This is because real estate is, by its nature, unique. Each party has substantial interests at stake and the Court has a series of remedies based upon the actions of the parties and issues at dispute.
Your Watkins Firm San Diego real estate dispute lawyer has extensive experience in all forms of commercial and residential disputes, including but not limited to:
- Neighbor disputes
- Disputes between real estate partners
- Boundary disputes
- Disputes over shared resources such as a fence or well
- Failure to provide full disclosure – failure to disclose
- Disputes regarding leasehold improvements
- Zoning and land use disputes
- View disputes
- Hidden defects
- Partition actions
- Easements and other property limitations
In a some California real estate cases the buyer has the right to “recission” – where the buyer is returned financially to a point before the purchase as if the transaction never happened. In most cases the buyer seeks “compensatory” damages which repay the costs to repair or correct the defect or hidden flaw(s) in the property. The court should also consider “punitive” damages when the seller knowingly hid the defects or maliciously acted to hide them from the buyer.

This is the least expensive and fastest way to protect your interests while resolving the dispute at hand.
