Our Services in Real Estate Law

Purchase and Transfer Agreements

We draft purchase, gift, and transfer agreements and process the purchase price through a lawyer’s escrow account—payment is not released until the transfer, free of encumbrances, is secured. This includes establishing the order of priority for the intended sale, clearing encumbrances, and handling the land registry procedures through to registration.

Buying a Home

Review of Draft Contracts Prepared by Third Parties

Anyone who signs the other party’s draft accepts their risk allocation. Before signing, we review what is actually being agreed upon: warranty exclusions, liability for living space and building permits, condition at handover, payment schedule, and consequences of default—offering specific wording suggestions rather than general concerns.

Condominium Ownership (WEG 2002)

We advise both individual condominium owners and homeowners’ associations on matters such as the condominium ownership agreement and the determination of utility value, approval of changes to the condominium property, distinguishing between maintenance and improvements, financial statements and reserve funds, as well as challenging resolutions passed by the owners’ meeting—where short deadlines apply, often only one to three months.

Lease and Tenancy Law

We represent landlords and tenants in matters related to drafting leases, rent reviews, maintenance obligations, eviction, and termination. We pay particular attention to fixed-term clauses: A formally incorrect fixed-term clause results in the lease being deemed open-ended—a mistake that can cost landlords years and give tenants a strong negotiating position.

Do you have a draft lease or a dispute with your landlord? During our initial consultation, we’ll review your documents and explain what’s important.
