What our clients say

★★★★★
We were first-time buyers and had no idea how the process worked in Quebec. The team at Compliant Estate Law walked us through every step — from understanding the promise to purchase to explaining the welcome tax. They caught a servitude issue on the title that our real-estate agent had completely missed, potentially saving us from a very expensive surprise. We felt genuinely cared for throughout the entire process and would recommend them without hesitation.

I manage a portfolio of rental properties in Quebec City and have used Compliant Estate Law for my last four acquisitions. Their commercial due-diligence process is incredibly thorough — they review environmental reports, verify zoning compliance and negotiate lease assignments with a level of detail that gives me real confidence. Marc-André is responsive, practical and always available when I need a quick answer. Highly recommended for any investor.

★★★★★
After discovering serious water damage behind the walls of our newly purchased duplex, we turned to Compliant Estate Law for help with a hidden-defect claim. Nathalie guided us through the entire process — from the expert inspection to the formal demand letter and ultimately a favourable settlement. Her knowledge of Quebec property law is exceptional, and she kept us informed every step of the way. We recovered the full cost of repairs.

★★★★☆
We hired Compliant Estate Law to handle the sale of our family cottage in Charlevoix. The property had been in the family for three generations and there were some title complexities involving undivided co-ownership. Sophie sorted everything out efficiently and the sale closed on schedule. The only reason I am not giving five stars is that I wish we had contacted them sooner — they could have helped us avoid a minor zoning issue that delayed our listing by a few weeks.

★★★★★
As a developer building a twelve-unit condominium in Sainte-Foy, I needed a law firm that understood both the construction side and the co-ownership regulations. Compliant Estate Law drafted our declaration of co-ownership, handled all the pre-sale contracts and coordinated with the notary to ensure every unit closed without a hitch. Their attention to detail saved us from potential liability issues and their flat-fee model meant no billing surprises. A truly professional team.

★★★★★
I was relocating from Ontario to Quebec for work and needed to purchase a home quickly. Compliant Estate Law made the entire process seamless, explaining the differences between Ontario and Quebec real-estate law and guiding me through the Civil Code requirements I was unfamiliar with. They were flexible with scheduling and even arranged a video call for the initial consultation since I had not yet moved to the province. Outstanding service.

Case studies

A closer look at how our real-estate law expertise has made a tangible difference for clients.

Signing a real-estate contract
Hidden defect resolution

Recovering $47,000 for concealed foundation damage

A young couple purchased a century-old stone house in Old Quebec, only to discover months later that the foundation had been repaired with an improper material that was now failing. The seller had not disclosed the previous repair. Our team retained a structural engineer, documented the defect, and negotiated a settlement of $47,000 — covering the full cost of professional foundation restoration. The matter was resolved without going to trial, saving the clients significant time and additional legal costs.

Structuring a 24-unit co-ownership in Limoilou

A local developer approached us to draft the declaration of co-ownership for a new 24-unit residential project in the Limoilou neighbourhood. We created a comprehensive declaration that addressed common-area maintenance responsibilities, contingency-fund contributions, short-term rental restrictions and parking allocation. We also prepared all pre-sale contracts and coordinated closings with the project notary. Every unit sold within eight months of project completion, and the syndicate of co-owners continues to operate smoothly under the framework we established.
