Construction Defects Lawyers in Torrevieja: we protect the home you worked so hard for
Cracks in the walls, damp, leaks, a pool that loses water or finishes that are nothing like what you paid for. Discovering defects in your new home is deeply disappointing. We listen to you, assess the damage with independent experts and claim against the developer, builder or professionals responsible, so your home is repaired or you are properly compensated.

Frequently asked questions
Questions about construction defects
How long do I have to claim for construction defects in Spain?
Under the Spanish Building Act (LOE), responsibility depends on the type of defect: generally 10 years for structural defects, 3 years for habitability defects and 1 year for finishing defects, counted from the reception of the building. Once the damage appears, there is a further period of 2 years to claim. Because the rules are technical, we recommend consulting us as soon as you notice a problem.
Who is responsible for construction defects?
Depending on the defect, responsibility may lie with the developer, the builder, the architect, the technical architect or other professionals involved, as well as their insurers. The developer is usually jointly responsible with the others towards the buyer. We identify everyone responsible in your case.
Do I need an expert report?
In most cases, yes. An independent technical report identifies the defects, their causes and the cost of repairing them, and it is key evidence in any claim. We coordinate it with trusted experts.
Can our community of owners claim for defects in common areas?
Yes. The community can claim for defects in common elements such as roofs, facades, garages or pools. We represent communities of owners and can also defend owners affected inside their own homes.
Will I have to go to court?
Not always. Many claims are resolved through negotiation with the developer, builder or insurers. If no fair agreement is reached, we take the claim to court.
I live abroad. Can you handle my claim?
Yes. We can manage the claim with a power of attorney, coordinate access to the property for the experts and keep you informed by email, phone, WhatsApp or video call.
