Bakersfield Real Estate and Property Dispute Attorney
For most people, the purchase of a home is the largest investment they will ever make. The unexpected discovery of structural, mechanical and other defects in this investment is a major crisis. Suddenly, a substantial portion of your investment seems to vanish.
When a dispute arises over one of these structural defects that was not required to be disclosed to a buyer in the property disclosure statement, it is no time for an inexperienced real estate attorney. You need effective representation to protect your rights and your investment.
Kathryn Fox of Perlman Fox, LLP, has extensive experience in litigation involving undisclosed property defects, inadequate property disclosure statements and other construction law matters. She can represent you in a dispute with a real estate agent or broker or against the buyers or previous home owners.
We can take action to obtain a remedy and to protect the value of your home.

Property Disclosure and the Law
Under California law, the seller of a property must disclose in the form of a transfer disclosure statement (TDS) any known defects and any past defects that have been corrected. A seller must also disclose any known nuisances that can affect the usability of the property. Even when the sale is on an "as is" basis, there are certain types of defects that must be noted in the property disclosure document.
What We Can Do
Perlman Fax will carefully review your situation, the TDS and any other representations made in your case. If necessary, we can arrange for a professional home inspector, surveyor, architect, engineer, licensed contractor or other knowledgeable construction professional to inspect the property. The results of this analysis may prove useful in support of your case.
Perlman Fox will provide you with our recommended strategy for the resolution of your case.
Helping You Make the Right Decision
We will explain our recommendation, the potential risks you face, your remedies and your chances of success. In some cases, it may cost less for you to repair the defect than to pursue a lawsuit. If this is so, we will make that recommendation to you.
If on the other hand, your prospects for success are good and it makes economic sense, Perlman Fox will aggressively seek to obtain compensation or remediation of the defect, through negotiation, arbitration or litigation.
