FREE LEGAL COUNSELLING

Who is the free legal counselling intended for?

Legal counselling regarding the purchase relationship is an integral part of the work of our real estate agency. Legal counselling is intended for all persons who are interested in purchasing or selling the property. Consulting is not binding in any respect.

Legal counselling when buying a property

Since there are many court proceedings arising from the purchase and sale of real estate, caution in this area is necessary. It is not advisable to enter into a sales relationship without first checking the documentation and thoroughly inspecting the sales contract.

Legal counselling regarding the purchase and sale of real estate should be given by real estate lawyers (those who specialize in real estate). The Europolis Real Estate Agency provides you with free legal counselling regarding the purchase and sale of real estate thanks to close cooperation with lawyers in this field. Free legal counselling is available to all citizens who plan to trade in real estate.

The most common topics for legal counselling:

• Verification of the validity of the property documentation
• Checking construction and use permits
• Drafting of the purchase contract
• Sale of unregistered real estate
• Purchase of mortgaged flat
• Registration and deletion of mortgage
• Difference between common and special assets
• Right of first refusal
• Tax on the transfer of absolute rights
• Capital gains
• Tax refund when purchasing the first property
• Investor's liability for defects of the property

Verification of documentation and investors

Thanks to timely legal counselling, the purchase relationship is entered into only after a detailed check of the existing documentation and the status of the property. It is necessary to determine that the immovable property is not under the burden of unresolved legal – property issues or a request for exercising rights by third parties.

Also, it is not a small number of documents that contain errors. Usually these are errors of authentication numbers of immovable property on different documents and in the Cadastre of immovable property. This may indicate accidental irregularities in the legalization process, but also attempts to falsify documents.

Special caution is advised when purchasing a new flat or a flat under construction. Although our system is much more advanced today when it comes to this segment than it was ten years ago, fraud is still possible. The only way to protect yourself is to entrust the investor screening process to an experienced lawyer. Free legal counselling was essential to many of our clients who were in the process of buying real estate.

Right of first refusal

One of the major problems can arise when the right to purchase is overlooked, since the injured party has rights that can be exercised in court proceedings. Before buying a property, it is important to make sure that there is no third party that could be damaged in this way.

Purchase contract and certification of documents

In order to draw up a valid sales contract, it is necessary to entrust this work to a lawyer. In this way, the transparency of the procedure is achieved and the undesirable legal consequences are prevented.

Although there are templates for purchase contracts available on the Internet, their use is not advised because they do not correspond to the specifics of the particular property that is the subject of the interest. Every pre-contract and contract must be certified by a Notary Public in order to be valid.

Checking construction and use permits

It is of great importance when buying and selling real estate that the necessary documents are completed. For example, when buying a new flat from an investor or a flat under construction, it is necessary to check all building and use permits, decisions on connections and ownership of the plot. Many investors avoid it or buyers are not versed in the topic, so they do not know what to look after.

In such situations, the knowledge and experience of lawyers is of great importance. Counselling on the purchase of real estate by lawyers enables the purchase process to be passed without stress and inconvenience.
