Property law: from the review of titles to the completion of the transfer
Our office covers the legal issues that arise in the acquisition, use and management of real estate, with an emphasis on legal diligence and the completion of transfers. We protect your interests as buyer or seller.

- Review of transfer contracts for sale, parental gift, donation and exchange
- Coordination with the notary, the engineer and the Land Registry Office for the completion of the transfer and its timely transcription
- Review of the tax obligations that accompany the transfer (transfer tax, ENFIA, deemed income), in cooperation with a tax consultant
- Drafting and review of leases for homes and business premises
- Orders for the return of the leased property and for payment of rent
- Resolution of co-ownership disputes, horizontal and vertical ownership
Title search at the Mortgage Registries and the Land Registry Offices
In many cases, mainly before the drafting of a sale or lease agreement for a property, before a loan agreement is concluded, and also in order to establish the state of a debtor’s assets ahead of a seizure to satisfy a monetary claim, it is imperative that a reliable and thorough search be carried out by a lawyer both at the Mortgage Registry and at the Land Registry Office, to establish the state of the properties of the person concerned. In the case of an imminent purchase of property in particular, great care and diligence are required on the part of the prospective buyer, an essential aspect of which is having the above search carried out by a lawyer, so that the buyer is not faced with a fait accompli on the later discovery of encumbrances or other restrictions on the ownership of the newly acquired property.
