How we work your case step-by-step
This is how we deal with your legal problems related to construction issues and defects in your new or second-hand home.
- Initial contact and problem framing: Could you tell us what happened (termination damage, delays, breaches, failed renovation, community)? We ask for the basic documentation to understand the starting point.
- Documentation review and feasibility assessment: We analyse contracts, communications, quotes, invoices, minutes and warranties. We clearly tell you what your options are, who you can make a claim against, and what you can ask for (repair, reduction, compensation, etc.).
- Strategy preparation and evidence gathering: We define the best course of action (negotiation, formal claim, lawsuit). If necessary, we coordinate or review technical/expert reports to strengthen the case.
- Pre-action claim and negotiation: We draft and send the request (recorded delivery letter or other means) and negotiate with the developer, builder, technicians, renovation company, or insurer to try and reach an agreement.
- Legal route if no agreement. If the other party does not respond or does not offer a reasonable solution, we prepare the lawsuit and carry out the full procedure: pleadings, deadlines, preparatory hearing, trial, and enforcement if necessary.
- Continuous monitoring and decisions with you: We keep you informed at every stage, with clear next steps and practical recommendations to move forward without surprises.

Preguntas frecuentes sobre abogados especialistas en construcción
What can I claim if my home has damp, cracks or leaks?
It depends on the origin of the damage and who is responsible, but typically you can claim for repairs, compensation for damages, and in some cases, a price reduction if applicable. Speak to our expert construction defects lawyer in Madrid to advise you on your first step.
Who do you claim against in a construction problem: the developer, the builder or the architect?
You can claim against one or more parties depending on the case: developer, builder, and/or intervening technicians. The key is to analyse the contract, guarantees, construction documentation and the cause of the defect, a task carried out by our firm of expert construction lawyers based on the Horizontal Property Law.
What do I do if the renovation company has left the work unfinished or it's poorly executed and there's a construction defect?
The usual course of action is to document the situation, make a written claim, and demand compliance, rectification, or termination of the contract with a refund of amounts and damages, depending on the situation. Seek the assistance of a construction law specialist in Madrid.
Is an expert report necessary to claim for structural defects?
Not always, but it is usually highly recommended when you have to prove the cause, scope, and cost of repair. A well-prepared technical report can make the difference in a negotiation or in a trial and helps the work of construction lawyers.
How long does a claim for construction or renovation defects take?
This varies depending on the chosen route: an out-of-court settlement can be resolved in weeks or a few months; if proceedings are initiated, the process can take several months (or longer) depending on the complexity and the court.
