More about damage to the home

Lawyers specialising in claims for damage to the home

Your home is probably the most valuable thing you own, both financially and sentimentally. It is your place. Your refuge. And now you have to deal with damage you never expected, damage that is not your fault and not your responsibility. The answer? Bringing a property damage claim in Madrid. Let us help you.

Escalera & Tuset is a Madrid firm working across different areas of civil law, and one of those departments is housing rights. We have the most experienced, best prepared professionals to take on a claim of this kind. If you are in the right, if the law is on your side, we will make sure justice is done.

Grounds on which you can bring a claim for damage to your home

There are several grounds on which someone can bring a claim for damage to their home. What we do at Escalera & Tuset is first analyse your case in depth and in full detail. That way we can identify the causes of the damage, assess whether it genuinely warrants a claim and advise you whether or not to go ahead, based on the chances of success. With our specialist lawyers beside you, you can be sure you are not embarking on claims that cannot be won. Where it is feasible and the claim is well founded, we will set the appropriate steps in motion ourselves.

Building defects

Building defects are one of the causes of physical damage to buildings and homes, whether partial or complete. Not all damage caused by building defects is the same, however: some is minor, some moderate, some serious and some very serious. As well as helping you establish the cause of the damage to your home, at Escalera & Tuset we will help you establish how serious it is. That information is the basis our claim strategy will be built on. Trust the leading experts.

Breach of the building contract

A breach of contract happens where one party does not do what a contract requires, despite having committed to it by signing or by any other means. Where a building contract is breached, the owners receive a property that

does not have all the features the contract set out. And they obviously have the right to bring a claim. Has that happened to you? Do not let it go; get in touch right now. Let us start work to defend your interests.

Claims against the residents association

Every society is, to some extent and at times, a struggle between the individual and the group. And residents associations, being small societies in themselves, are no different. So much so that the association's decisions can sometimes significantly affect your home or your enjoyment of it. Do you feel powerless? Do you think the association is acting unlawfully by building something in a particular place? Or by painting the facades a particular colour? Or by failing to meet one of its obligations towards your home? Call us. Let us look at the options.

How our firm can help you

The idea is very simple: Escalera & Tuset has the knowledge, the resources and the experience it takes to help you with any legal problem you may have with your home and its condition, whoever it involves, whether an individual or a company. We are specialists in building defects, in breach of building contracts and in disputes with the residents association. We are ready to protect your rights.
