The first consultation
You describe your situation. We listen and ask the questions needed to establish the facts.
Practice area
Real Estate Law and Land Registration
Property transactions and the legal status of the property: due diligence, preliminary agreements, the land register, subdivisions, and ownership disputes.
In a property transaction, checking the legal status of the property is not a formality but the only stage at which problems can still be avoided. Undischarged charges, cadastral overlaps, unregistered subdivisions or pending disputes are all reasons why an apparently straightforward purchase turns into years of litigation.
We assist buyers, sellers and developers with pre-acquisition due diligence, with drafting preliminary agreements and contracts, and in land register disputes.
What the practice covers.
- Due diligence on the legal status of property before acquisition
- Preliminary sale agreements and bilateral promises; actions for a judgment in lieu of contract
- Rectification and removal of land register entries
- Subdivisions, consolidations and cadastral overlaps
- Lease and real estate leasing contracts
- Easements, usufruct and other dismemberments of ownership
How we work, in five steps.
Reviewing the documents
We examine the contracts, decisions, official records and correspondence. Any serious strategy starts from the documents.
The options
We set out what can be done, what cannot, and where the weak points of the case lie. Prospects and risks are discussed in concrete terms.
The strategy
We agree together on the course to follow and record it in the legal assistance agreement.
Representation
We represent you until the procedure is concluded and, where necessary, through to enforcement of the judgment.
