Real estate law
Real estate law covers the purchase, sale and lease of property, including title review, contract drafting and representation in cadastral proceedings. In a transfer, what matters is whether money and title are linked so that neither side performs blindly.
Who it is for
- You are buying or selling an apartment, house or land
- You are buying a property encumbered by a bank's mortgage
- You are preparing a commercial lease
- You are handling a development project or a property dispute
Key areas of work
- Drafting and reviewing purchase agreements
- Due diligence and title review before purchase
- Representation in cadastral proceedings and title registration
- Attorney escrow of the purchase price
- Legal advice on development projects
- Leases and tenancies
- Real estate dispute resolution
How we handle it
Before signing we check what the title deed shows and what it omits — encumbrances, easements, pending proceedings, access to the land. The findings go into the contract so that the buyer does not carry the risk.
The purchase agreement, escrow of the purchase price and the registration filing can be handled as one service on one timetable. Where the property is mortgaged, we set the process up so the bank's charge is repaid from the price and released without delay.
Frequently asked questions
Who pays the cadastral registration fee?
＋
It is a matter of agreement between the parties and we state it explicitly in the contract to avoid any dispute. In practice the buyer most often pays it, but that is not a rule.
How does buying a property with the seller's mortgage on it work?
＋
Part of the price repays the seller's loan and only then does the bank issue its consent to release the charge. This step can be handled safely through an attorney escrow — the money goes to the bank directly from escrow against the required document.
Does a lawyer have to draft a property purchase agreement?
＋
Not necessarily, but templates from the internet do not address what matters — the title check, the order of steps and linking payment to registration of ownership. That is where the most expensive mistakes happen.
