Real estate development disputes arise from both contractual obligations and from buyer expectations that were not met. Examples of typical contractual problems include:
- A builder enters into an agreement to buy a lot but does not follow through on the purchase (breach of contract)
- A developer is required to prepare a lot with a certain degree of soil compaction but that condition is not met
- A builder fails to complete the development of amenities promised in a subdivision, such as walking trails or a swimming pool
- The development of land has been delayed due to a course of unexpected events; the developer feels the delay is justifiable under the contract but the builder or homeowner disagrees
- Problems develop with curbs, sewers, or roadways in the real estate development
Developers must respond to current market conditions, which can frustrate homeowners when the nature of a development changes over time. Homeowners, or a homeowner association, may feel they have been misled when a development shifts from:
- Detached, single family homes to multi-family homes or townhomes
- An older adult community to a mixed age community or a development for families with children to a community that includes a senior component
- Requiring homes of a certain size to allowing homes of a smaller size (and lower cost)
Mr. DeVore hands land development cases in court for these and other development and zoning disputes. When necessary, he has a network of technical experts at his disposal to investigate claims, such as those involving soil compaction or drainage issues.
