Legal support in property purchase and sale transactions
The purchase or sale of a property involves significant decisions and documents that must be carefully reviewed, including title deeds, registrations, land registry certificates, licences, promissory contracts, deeds and any encumbrances or charges associated with the property. We assist in verifying the legal status of the property, analysing the terms of the transaction, reviewing or drafting contracts and supporting the process through to completion of the purchase and sale. The aim is to prevent risks, avoid disputes and ensure that the transaction proceeds with legal certainty.

Frequently asked questions
We clarify some of the most common questions about the purchase and sale of property, promissory contracts, land registry documentation and the legal risks of the transaction.
Which documents should I review before buying a property?
Documents such as the permanent land registry certificate, property tax record, habitation licence, energy performance certificate, floor plan, condominium documents and any contracts or information relating to charges, encumbrances or debts should be reviewed.
What is a promissory contract for the purchase and sale of property?
It is a contract under which the parties undertake to conclude the sale and purchase of the property at a later date, setting out conditions such as price, deposit, deadlines, financing, deed, default and the responsibilities of each party.
What risks may exist when buying a property?
There may be risks relating to registered encumbrances or charges, condominium debts, lack of a licence, discrepancies in areas, planning issues, contractual default or unfavourable clauses in the promissory contract.

This is not mandatory in all cases, but it is recommended. Legal support makes it possible to review documents, prevent risks, check contracts and ensure that rights and obligations are properly safeguarded.
