Realty Dispute Issues:

Aborted Transaction Disputes, Deposit Release, Undisclosed Defects, Among Other Things



Last Updated: July 04 2026

Question: What should I do if my Ontario real estate deal didn’t close as agreed or there were issues like defective disclosure or missing fixtures?

Answer: If you are dealing with an Ontario real estate dispute involving closing failure, broom swept condition, improper removal of fixtures or chattels, or alleged failure to disclose latent or patent defects, Lo Greco Law can help you understand your options and take appropriate action based on the facts, including 30+ year experienced lawyer services and LSO tribunal representation where needed.  To protect your interests, gather the purchase agreement, offer forms, property condition reports, correspondence, and any evidence of the defect or condition at closing, then contact Lo Greco Law by phone at (416) 488-4110 for a focused consultation on next steps and potential claims or defences in Ontario.  Getting legal guidance early can improve how you document the issue and may reduce costs if the matter escalates to litigation or a dispute resolution process.

Realty Issues Commonly Leading to Legal Action

When a realty deal goes awry, legal disputes often arise.  In some circumstances the seller of a property may suffer losses and in other circumstances it is the buyer that suffers harm.  Regardless of which side of a troubled realty transaction you are on, professional legal advice should be sought.

Common Issues

Frequently occuring realty dispute issues that give rise to litigation involve, among other things:

  • The failure to close in broom swept condition;
  • The failure to close whereas a buyer abandons the agreement;
  • The improper removal of fixtures or certain chattels prior to closing;
  • The failure to properly close a pool or perform other maintenance;
  • The failure to disclose details regarding a latent defect; and
  • The improper concealment of a patent defect.
