At Harborstone Law, our Pennsylvania real estate litigation attorneys represent homeowners, businesses, landlords, tenants, developers, investors, and property owners in a broad range of residential and commercial real property disputes. We focus on practical solutions through negotiation or mediation whenever possible. When litigation becomes necessary, we are prepared to aggressively protect our clients’ rights in court.

Our Real Property Litigation Services

Our attorneys represent clients in a wide variety of real estate and property disputes, including:

Breach of Real Estate Contracts

Real estate purchase agreements and sales contracts are legally binding. When a buyer or seller fails to perform, refuses to close, misses contractual deadlines, or otherwise breaches the agreement, legal action may be necessary. We represent buyers and sellers seeking specific performance, contract enforcement, or monetary damages.

Quiet Title Actions and Title Disputes

Questions regarding property ownership, title defects, liens, forged deeds, recording errors, and competing ownership claims can prevent the sale or financing of real estate. Our attorneys handle quiet title actions and other proceedings to establish ownership and remove clouds on title.

Boundary, Easement, and Property Line Disputes

Disputes involving property boundaries, encroachments, easements, rights-of-way, and access issues are among the most common real estate conflicts. We help clients interpret deeds, surveys, easement agreements, and applicable Pennsylvania law to resolve these disputes through negotiation or litigation.

Partition Actions Between Co-Owners

A partition action may be necessary when multiple individuals own real estate and cannot agree on whether to sell, divide, or manage the property. We represent co-owners seeking a fair division or court-ordered sale of jointly owned property.

Ejectment Actions and Possession Litigation

An ejectment action may be necessary when property owners need to recover possession of real estate from individuals who have no legal right to occupy it. Our attorneys represent property owners in ejectment actions and related litigation involving disputed possession and ownership.

Foreclosure Defense and Mortgage Litigation

Homeowners and commercial property owners facing foreclosure often have legal options available. We represent clients in foreclosure defense, lender disputes, mortgage litigation, loan servicing issues, and other real estate financing disputes.

Landlord-Tenant Litigation

We represent both landlords and tenants in disputes involving commercial and residential leases, lease enforcement, evictions, security deposits, property damage, rent disputes, and other landlord-tenant matters.

Homeowners’ Association (HOA) and Condominium Association Disputes

Disagreements involving homeowners’ associations, condominium associations, assessments, restrictive covenants, bylaws, architectural restrictions, and enforcement actions frequently require experienced legal counsel. We represent homeowners, associations, and property owners in these matters.

Property Defect and Construction Claims

Construction disputes may involve defective workmanship, construction delays, contract disputes, building code violations, or failure to complete agreed-upon work. We represent property owners, contractors, developers, and businesses in construction-related litigation.

Zoning, Land Use, and Development Disputes

Our attorneys assist clients with zoning appeals, land-use disputes, variances, special exceptions, development issues, and challenges to municipal land-use decisions.

Real Estate Fraud and Misrepresentation

Real estate transactions sometimes involve fraud, concealment of defects, forged documents, or material misrepresentations. We pursue and defend claims involving fraudulent real estate transactions and seek appropriate legal and financial remedies for our clients.

Adverse Possession Claims

In Pennsylvania, ownership claims are recognized under limited circumstances involving long-term possession of property. This is called “adverse possession.” Whether you are asserting or defending an adverse possession claim, experienced legal representation is essential.
