Legal Question in Construction Law in Massachusetts

Re: securing a property lien

I'm not entirely clear whether you are looking for the return of a deposit paid to the builder for the new home, or a deposit made in connection with the Purchase and Sale Agreement.

Whether you are entitled to a return of your deposit in either case will depend upon whether you and the builder/seller complied with each of the terms of your agreement.

In order to secure a lien against the property of the builder, you will need to file a lawsuit and attach the property of the builder. That will likely prevent the transfer of the home to any prospective buyers, and may help the builder/seller decide to return the deposit.

Please do not hesitate to contact this office if you would like to schedule a consultation.
