Real Estate Law
Legal support for the purchase, sale, lease, and transfer of rights in real estate.
Real estate transactions require a detailed review of the property’s legal status, ownership documentation, and any potential restrictions that may affect the transaction.
We provide comprehensive legal support, from document review and negotiations to drafting agreements, notarisation, and completing the transfer of rights.
Buying or selling real estate is often the largest investment a person or company makes. Our job is to make the transaction safe, ensure money is paid only when it is secure to do so, and see that ownership is properly registered.
Areas of Practice
- Purchase and sale of real estate
- Legal due diligence of real estate
- Drafting preliminary agreements and contracts
- Lease agreements
- Mortgages and other security instruments
- Legalisation of buildings
- Disputes related to real estate transactions
How We Help
Before a contract is signed, we carry out legal due diligence on the property: we check the cadastre record, encumbrances, annotations, building documents and the authority of the persons selling.
We draft the contract so that payments follow the key steps: certification of the contract, handover of possession and registration of title. We attend certification before the notary public and carry out registration in the cadastre.
How We Work Together
- Property check – we analyse the cadastre extract, encumbrances and supporting documents.
- Negotiation and preliminary contract – we agree the terms and secure the deposit.
- Contract and certification – we draft the contract and attend certification before a notary.
- Registration and handover – we follow registration of ownership and the handover of the property.
Good to Know
A contract for the transfer of real estate must be concluded in the form the law prescribes, that is, certified by a notary public. A contract that is not concluded in the required form has no legal effect, so a professional review before signing is the best protection.
The most expensive mistake in a property deal is the one discovered after the price is paid.
