  13. Rise in defaulters

  14. Due to the decrease in rents, many property developers start to default on loans, causing real estate wars between developers and lenders.

  15. When developers fail to pay their loans, they run the risk of facing foreclosures from lenders and also get hit by the insurance coverage implications.

  16. The risk of damage to unoccupied commercial property as well as potentially expensive losses also goes up as foreclosures create more empty spaces.

  17. During the transition period when property ownership becomes murky, insurance coverage issues may also spark problems as parties pass the blame to escape liability.

  18. Directors get blamed

  19. The financial meltdown coupled with heightened scrutiny from shareholders also takes a toll on directors and officers in many industries as they see a wave of litigation.

  20. In the market, there is a sharp drop in property values amid the crisis, leaving property owners struggling as values slid to levels lower than those of their mortgages.

  21. This results in lawsuits from disgruntled buyers who accuse developers either of breaching their contract or not delivering on promises.
