A real estate agency has been legally condemned following the collapse of a property sale in the San Telmo neighborhood. The buyer completed a reservation deposit, but a subsequent legal impediment prevented the transaction from finalizing. A lengthy court process culminated in a Civil Chamber ruling holding both the seller and the agency jointly liable. The judgment stems from alleged negligence in failing to identify the legal issue prior to the sale agreement. The court determined the agency did not adequately vet the property’s legal status. This case highlights the importance of due diligence in real estate transactions and the potential liability of agencies for failing to disclose known or discoverable issues. The specific details of the legal impediment were not disclosed in the report.
