Questions About Real Estate Transactions That Clients Often Ask

How long do I have to file a real estate lawsuit in Florida?
The deadline to file a lawsuit depends on the type of real estate legal claim involved:
- Breach of written contract: Five years from when the breach occurred
- Breach of oral contract: Four years from when the breach occurred
- Fraud and misrepresentation: Four years from when the fraud was discovered
- Construction defects: Four years from the issuance of a certificate of occupancy, certificate of completion or abandonment of construction
If you’re unsure which timeline applies to your case, a real estate litigation attorney can provide feedback.
What remedies are available when a property seller fails to disclose defects?
As a buyer, you can pursue compensatory damages. These include the cost of repairs or diminished value of the property. You can also request to cancel or undo the sale and return the property to the seller.
