Legal consultation on the practice Real Estate of "DE-JURE"

Legal support for the developer is constant monitoring of legal issues: support for the developer at all stages of project implementation, from acquiring land use rights, obtaining permits to commissioning the building and transferring the property to investors.

Transferring a building to management is a legally defined procedure by which property owners delegate maintenance and proper service functions to a manager.

A legal opinion is a written analysis of the risks, documents, and permitting procedures associated with construction.

For most people, buying real estate is a rare event, happening only a few times in a lifetime. Consequently, the average buyer may be unfamiliar with the complexities of real estate transactions, property alienation and other important legal nuances. While estate agents can assist with the sale, their primary goal is to sell the property, not necessarily to protect the buyer's legal interests.

Real estate legal due diligence is conducted at the preparatory stage prior to the acquisition of an apartment or house. It constitutes an integral stage of the comprehensive legal services for real estate transactions.
