Purchasers of a custom home against the developer
Represented the purchasers of a custom-built home in a breach of contract action against the real estate developer.
Practice Area
Residential Real Estate
Representation of buyers, sellers, developers, and lenders in the purchase and sale of houses, condominiums, and co-operatives throughout New York.
Overview
For most families, a home is the largest transaction they will ever sign. Manjit Singh represents buyers and sellers of houses, condominiums, and co-operative apartments from the first draft of the contract of sale through the closing table, handling the negotiation, due diligence, title review, lender coordination, and board requirements that each transaction demands.
We have sat in every chair at the closing table: buyer, seller, developer, and bank.
The firm also represents developers and investors who buy residential property to renovate or to tear down and rebuild. Those transactions carry additional layers: the entity that takes title, the governance documents behind it, and the permitting the project depends on. Manjit handles all of it, so that the purchase, the company, and the project are aligned before the first wall comes down.
Lenders that use outside counsel retain Manjit as bank attorney on residential closings, which gives the firm an unusually complete view of the transaction from every chair at the table.

Reversed
For: Homeowners
Second Department reverses order that left a default foreclosure judgment in place
Retained on appeal by homeowners after the trial court refused to vacate a judgment of foreclosure and sale entered against them on default on a $1 million mortgage. The Appellate Division, Second Department, reversed, ordered a hearing on whether the homeowners had ever been properly served, and awarded them costs. The reversal gave the clients the leverage to complete a short sale with the lender.
