Sold a Taipei property after pre-sale maintenance; now, following typhoon damage, our agent claims a 5-year repair liability. Does Taiwanese law enforce this responsibility?
I have seen similar situations where the interpretation of liability was subject to the specific wording of the contract. In my experience, unless the seller explicitly agreed to be responsible for future repairs, such liability is not usually enforceable after the property sale has been finalized. Typically, any issues arising from typhoon damage would be handled under applicable warranty clauses or fall under the developer’s responsibility if they were noted before closing. It is important to review the contractual details carefully and seek legal advice to clarify any extended responsibilities implied by ambiguous language.
Hey folks, I’m wondering if there are specific contractual clauses in these deals that keep the seller liable even after sale? Has anyone seen legal texts on this in Taiwan that back up such claims? Curious to hear your thoughts!
hey, im not a lawyer but normally after the sale you’re off the hook unless theres a clear clause. in most cases, sellers dont back liability for repairs. always best to review the contract and maybe get some legal advice tho.
Interesting twist! I’m curious if anyone here has seen similar lingering seller responsibilities in Taipei deals. How often do contract nuances lead to such extended liabilities? I’d love to know your experiences or any insights on local practices affecting this.
