What services does real estate transaction support include

Purchasing real estate is an extraordinary event that happens once in a person’s life, at most several times in a lifetime. Moreover, the security of concluding a transaction and further ownership of the property is entrusted to the buyer. What does a lawyer help with when purchasing an apartment, explained the head of the real estate and construction practice, lawyer, candidate of legal sciences Ivan Topor.

Real estate transaction support is a set of legal services aimed at protecting the interests of the parties during the execution of the transaction and after its signing. It begins with a legal analysis of the real estate object and ends with the signing of the purchase and sale agreement and registration of ownership of the real estate object. Legal support for the purchase of real estate in the company “DE-JURE” takes up to three working days and includes the following stages:

  • legal verification of the real estate object (the presence of litigation, enforcement proceedings and restrictions);
  • verification of the seller and his ownership of the housing;
  • verification of the developer and companies participating in the construction, their reputation, construction documents and the right to own the land plot;
  • analysis of the draft contract with possible amendments;
  • coordination of the terms of the contract with the seller or buyer;
  • departure of a lawyer to sign the contract with a notary.

If questions and difficulties arise at any stage of legal support, a lawyer helps to promptly resolve them.
