The Breyne Law on the buyer's side: your rights explained
The Breyne Law is a buyer protection law. It restricts contractual freedom in favour of the acquirer — and these protections are inescapable.
1. Public-order status
Unlike most civil rules, the Breyne Law is of public order. Concretely: no contract clause can make you waive your rights. Even if you signed without reading, the protections remain activatable.
2. Your acquired warranties
Three protection pillars:
- 5% security deposit (details) blocked at the notary or via bank guarantee.
- Completion guarantee (Article 12) in case of developer bankruptcy.
- Two-step reception (Article 9): provisional then final after 1 year.
3. Your remedies
If a mandatory clause from Article 7 is missing, you can claim contract nullity — invocable without time limit as long as the final reception has not taken place.
In case of warranty breach, see developer recourse and Breyne Law sanctions.
