Last Updated: June 12 2026

Question: What can I do if a real estate deal in Ontario falls apart because the other party won’t close or the property isn’t in the agreed condition?

Answer: If a realty transaction goes sideways in Ontario, act fast by preserving the agreement of purchase and sale and all emails/texts, documenting the issues (photos, timelines, receipts), and getting guidance on your options such as demanding compliance, negotiating a settlement, or starting a claim for losses related to failure to close, missing fixtures/chattels, or undisclosed defects; Civil Litigations Paralegal Services provides Paralegal support focused on clear next steps and cost-conscious dispute resolution for buyers and sellers across Ontario.  Call (416) 229-1479 to discuss your situation and get a practical plan to protect your rights and minimize financial damage.

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.
