Frequently Asked Questions

What should I do if there’s an undisclosed lien on a property I just purchased?

If you discover an undisclosed lien after purchasing a property in Cleveland, Ohio, contact an experienced real estate attorney right away. We can help you investigate the lien’s validity, explore your legal options to have it removed, and potentially seek recourse from the seller for failing to disclose the lien.

My neighbor’s fence is on my property. What are my options?

If a neighbor’s fence encroaches on your Cleveland, Ohio property, first try to discuss the issue with them amicably. If that fails, you have a few options:

Negotiate an easement agreement
Request that they remove the fence
File a quiet title lawsuit to firmly establish property boundaries

Our real estate litigation attorney can advise on the best approach for your situation.

Who’s liable for hidden defects discovered after construction is complete?

Liability for hidden defects in Cleveland, Ohio depends on several factors, including the nature of the defect, the language of the construction contract, and the involvement of architects or engineers. The contractor, subcontractors, architects, or engineers could potentially be liable. Consult our construction defects and disputes attorney to assess your case.

Can I get out of a real estate contract if the other party misrepresented something?

Potentially, yes. If a seller or lessor made material misrepresentations about a Cleveland, Ohio property that you relied upon when entering the contract, you may be able to rescind the contract.

However, you’ll need to prove the misrepresentation and that it was material to the transaction. A Cleveland real estate litigation attorney can evaluate whether you have grounds to void the contract.
