Real estate law<\/strong> or property law<\/strong> encompasses all legal aspects of acquiring, owning, using, and disposing of real estate – apartments, houses, land, and commercial properties. Whether you’re buying your first property, investing in construction, or facing a boundary dispute, legal security in real estate transactions<\/strong> is crucial. While many believe that using a real estate agency sufficiently protects their interests, only an experienced real estate lawyer can guarantee full legal protection<\/strong> in this field. The stakes are high – real estate is valuable property – and even the smallest legal error can lead to loss of money, property, or ownership rights. <\/p>\nOur Office Offers Professional Real Estate Services, Including:<\/h3>\n\n- Property legal status verification:<\/strong> Before purchase or investment, we thoroughly check property documentation. Through land registry inspection, we determine the rightful owner, check for registered mortgages, dispute notices, or other restrictions. This due diligence<\/strong> protects the buyer from later unpleasant surprises, such as cases where the seller is wrongfully registered or third parties claim rights. <\/li>\n
- Contract drafting and certification:<\/strong> We prepare preliminary contracts and real estate purchase agreements<\/strong>, as well as lease agreements, property exchange contracts, easement rights, mortgages, and other real estate legal transactions. We customize each contract to the specific case – including clauses about possession transfer deadlines, payment terms, liability for material defects, warranties, right of first refusal, etc. After finalizing the contract text, we coordinate the notarization process and fulfillment of other formalities (e.g., prior tax office transaction reporting if required). <\/li>\n
- Property title registration:<\/strong> After purchase or other legal acquisition of property, it’s crucial to register your ownership rights in the land registry<\/strong>. We submit cadastral applications on your behalf, monitor the registration process, and resolve any notices or rejections through communication with the cadastral office. Quick and correct registration ensures that you become the full legal owner and that this is visible to everyone. <\/li>\n
- Property dispute resolution:<\/strong> If a property dispute arises, our team provides representation before courts and other authorities. Whether it’s a neighbor dispute<\/strong> (e.g., boundaries, right of way, noise), possession disturbance<\/strong>, eviction<\/strong> (removing unauthorized users), or termination of purchase agreement due to defects, we have experience in presenting your case in the best light. We also handle legalization procedures<\/strong> for unregistered buildings and construction legalization, which is a common issue in practice – providing advice and representation in administrative procedures to bring your property into legal compliance. <\/li>\n
- Tax and inheritance consulting for real estate:<\/strong> Buying or selling property carries certain tax obligations (property transfer tax, VAT, inheritance and gift tax if applicable). We advise clients on fulfilling their tax obligations while utilizing available benefits (e.g., first-time homebuyer exemption). Also, if property is part of inheritance or being gifted, we explain legal consequences and optimal solutions (e.g., differences between joint ownership and co-ownership among heirs, property division procedures, etc.). <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Local Real Estate Market – Specifics<\/h2>\n

We recognize common pitfalls: purchasing property burdened with active litigation or hidden encumbrances<\/strong>, existence of forged documents<\/strong> or unconcluded inheritance proceedings, violation of right of first refusal<\/strong> (when a co-owner sells to a third party without offering to other co-owners), and more<\/em>.
