We were first-time buyers navigating a complicated dual-ownership arrangement on a heritage property in Old Québec. The team at Greenfield walked us through every clause, uncovered a hidden servitude that would have restricted our renovation plans, and negotiated an amendment before closing. We would not have caught that on our own.
A neighbour encroached on our lot by almost two metres with a new fence. Greenfield obtained the original survey, filed the appropriate proceedings and resolved the matter within three months—far faster than I expected. Their knowledge of boundary law in Québec is outstanding.
Our condominium syndicate needed to amend the declaration of co-ownership to allow short-term rentals. Greenfield drafted the amendment, managed the special assembly vote and registered the updated declaration at the land registry. The entire process was seamless and professionally handled.
I hired Greenfield to handle the sale of a commercial lot in Lévis. They identified an environmental compliance issue early, coordinated the Phase I assessment and structured the offer so that the remediation cost was fairly allocated. Their commercial real estate experience saved me thousands of dollars.
When the city initiated expropriation proceedings for a road-widening project that cut through our farmland, Greenfield fought for fair compensation. They commissioned an independent appraisal that valued the land at nearly twice the initial government offer. The tribunal ultimately sided with us.
I needed a lease reviewed for a new restaurant space on Rue Saint-Jean. The landlord had included several unusual clauses regarding signage and operating hours that could have limited my business. Greenfield renegotiated those terms and added a renewal option that gives me long-term security.
Below are three anonymised case studies that illustrate the breadth of our property law practice. Each one highlights a different challenge and the strategy we used to achieve a favourable outcome for the client.
A young couple discovered, mid-transaction, that the property they were purchasing had a break in the title chain dating back to 1987. The original seller had passed away intestate, and the estate was never formally settled. Our team traced the heirs across three provinces, obtained the necessary declarations of transmission and corrected the land register entry—all within the 60-day closing window stipulated in the purchase agreement.
The result was a clean title, a satisfied lender and a couple who moved into their new home on schedule. Without timely intervention, the deal would have collapsed and the buyers would have lost their deposit.
A developer wanted to convert a former warehouse in Saint-Roch into a mixed-use building with ground-floor retail and upper-floor residential units. The existing zoning designation did not permit residential use. We prepared a comprehensive variance application, engaged an urban planner to draft supporting studies, and presented the case at a public consultation hearing.
The municipal council granted the variance with conditions, including a commitment to preserve the building's industrial facade. Construction began six months later, and the project has since become a model for adaptive reuse in the neighbourhood. Our involvement ensured the developer met every regulatory requirement without costly delays or appeals.
A provincial highway expansion required the expropriation of 12 hectares of actively farmed land. The initial indemnity offered by the expropriating authority was based on a generic per-hectare valuation that failed to account for the property's drainage improvements, irrigation infrastructure and proximity to a regional market hub.
We retained an independent agronomy expert and a certified appraiser, whose combined report demonstrated that the land's productive value was substantially higher than the government estimate. At the Administrative Tribunal of Québec, we presented evidence of comparable sales, crop yield data and infrastructure replacement costs. The tribunal awarded our client an indemnity 87 % higher than the original offer, plus relocation assistance for the farming operation.
