FAQ

Frequently asked questions about the office.

What is the main role of a lawyer in drafting or reviewing a real estate contract?

The main function is to guarantee legal security and contractual fairness. The lawyer drafts clauses that protect your assets, prevent legal loopholes and future litigation. During the review, they identify and neutralize abusive clauses, ensuring that the contract faithfully reflects the commercial agreement, in full compliance with the Civil Code and real estate legislation.

Why should a Purchase and Sale Agreement be reviewed, even if it's a standard template?

Standard templates or drafts provided by construction companies and real estate agencies are, as a rule, one-sided, meaning they favor the party that drafted them. Contract review by a specialist lawyer ensures that your rights (deadlines, penalties, guarantees, and payment terms) are balanced and protected, preventing you from being caught off guard by unfavorable demands or penalties.

How does legal counsel help prevent contract-related litigation?

Preventing litigation starts with clear and precise clauses. We ensure that all details (correction indices, delivery deadlines, termination clauses, penalties) are drafted unambiguously. A well-drafted contract acts as a legal shield, making it difficult for the opposing party to argue in a potential lawsuit, thus discouraging disputes.

If I decide to cancel my purchase (contract termination), what are my rights to recover the amounts paid?

Contract termination is governed by legislation and the contract itself. Generally, the buyer has the right to recover part of the amounts paid, but the retention allowed to the seller varies according to the type of property (land subdivision, off-plan, or ready-built) and whether the termination is the buyer's or seller's fault. Legal counsel is essential to negotiate the maximum refund and avoid undue retentions.

Does the firm draft contracts for property exchanges and payment in kind?

Yes. The firm has expertise in drafting atypical and complex contracts involving the transfer of property, such as property exchanges and payment in kind (using a property to settle a debt). In these cases, legal precision is crucial to ensure the correct valuation of the property and the security of the transfer of ownership.
