Real estate
Buying, selling, gifts, ownership, land and leases
Property transactions involve large sums, and small mistakes can be costly. We handle the complete transfer: the sale agreement, lawyer authorisation, purchase price escrow and the land register application, backed by a lawyer’s professional indemnity insurance.
We assist with buying and selling flats, houses and land, gifts and exchanges, and cases where land registration proceedings are suspended or an application is refused. We provide ongoing contract support to estate agencies.
Which property service do you need?
When buying or selling, you can choose contract drafting or review, purchase price escrow, or the complete transfer. In your initial enquiry, describe the property, your planned timing and whether you already have a draft contract. We will agree the scope of work and the fee for your situation.
For a lease, access to land or co-ownership, see land and leases. For a construction or development project, see construction and development.

The most common questions in this area
-
When do I become the owner of a property: on signing the agreement or on land registration?
You become the owner only when ownership is registered in the land registry, not when the agreement is signed. Signing creates contractual obligations only; the seller remains the owner until the registry’s decision. That is why the price should be paid through escrow, releasing funds only after registration, rather than paid to the seller before registration is permitted.

What must an estate agency agreement contain?
Under an estate agency agreement, the agency undertakes activities aimed at concluding a property agreement, and the client undertakes to pay commission. The agreement should clearly define its scope, commission amount and payment date, duration, any exclusivity, and the agent’s duties. Where the client is a consumer, additional protection applies, including a ban on unfair terms.

What is the difference between constitutive registration, a declaratory record and a note in the cadastre?
These are three types of cadastral entry with very different effects. Constitutive registration creates, changes or terminates a property right, based on an agreement and only on application. A declaratory record merely records an existing right, based on a public document such as an inheritance certificate or judgment. A note records a fact concerning the property, rather than a right, such as enforcement or a court dispute.
