Legal support of real estate transactions in Moscow
Any real estate transactions without professional support are fraught with high risks. If the future owner did not pay due attention to checking the history or characteristics of the property, did not make sure of the seller's honesty, and did not ensure the appropriate content of the contract, they may face complications due to such carelessness.
For example, you may find that the actual value of the property and land is significantly lower than the advertised value. Alternatively, your rights may be challenged, and the previously signed contract may be declared invalid.
What are the differences from other types of transactions?
Real estate transactions are legal actions that initiate the establishment, modification, or termination of ownership rights to property objects. They are characterized by the need to comply with a variety of legal norms and regulations. The complexity of these transactions is further exacerbated by the involvement of significant financial resources.
Therefore, real estate lawyers should:
- have a deep knowledge of land, civil, housing, and tax legislation, as well as regional regulations (for example, those developed by various relevant Moscow agencies, if the object of the future transaction is located in Moscow);
- carefully check the legal purity of the property, all transfers of ownership, and encumbrances;
- assess the risks associated with possible legal disputes.
Such transactions are often full of nuances, ignoring which can lead to serious losses, especially in Moscow, where the cost of real estate reaches hundreds of thousands per square meter. Therefore, it is better to immediately order legal support.
For example, it is important to correctly determine the tax consequences, ensure that all participants are competent and that there are no hidden defects in the property, and verify the authority of the representatives. Special attention is paid to checking the ownership documents and following the current procedures for registration and formalization.
- collects a mandatory set of documents for the client;
- develops a draft purchase and sale agreement;
- conducts negotiations with the buyer;
- present at the signing of the contract;
- organizes the notarization of the transaction;
- ensures safe receipt of funds;
- organizes the state registration of the transfer of ownership.
