Why hire a lawyer when buying a home?
Having an experienced sales attorney is essential to ensure a legal and risk-free transaction. During a home purchase, unfair terms, unregistered liens, or even hidden defects that go unnoticed can arise and can cause financial problems or lawsuits in the future. A real estate attorney reviews each contract, confirms that the property is free of mortgages or liens, and ensures that the purchase agreement protects your interests at all times.
Can you help me if I discover construction defects after purchase?
Yes. If, after purchasing a home, construction defects or hidden flaws appear, our legal team can help you claim repairs for these damages or, failing that, financial compensation. We analyze each case to determine whether the claim can be resolved amicably with the developer or builder, or if legal action is necessary. Hidden flaws are serious problems such as dampness, cracks, defective installations, or substandard materials that directly affect the habitability or safety of the home.
What is due diligence in a home purchase and sale?
Real estate due diligence is a legal and documentary investigation process prior to signing the purchase agreement for a home. Its purpose is to verify that the property is free of liens, encumbrances, mortgages, embargoes, or any other legal issues that may affect the buyer. This analysis also reviews urban planning aspects, licenses, and the status of the homeowners’ association. This procedure is key to avoiding future risks, as it allows for identifying irregularities before formalizing the purchase.
Can you also advise me on rental contracts?
Yes. In addition to property sales, we offer legal advice on rental agreements. We draft and review rental agreements that comply with current regulations, protecting both landlords and tenants from potential conflicts. A well-drafted rental agreement prevents non-payment, abusive clauses, or problems related to the return of the deposit and maintenance of the property.
Who pays the notary and registry fees when buying a home?
In a real estate purchase and sale, notary, registry, and administrative fees may vary depending on the agreement between the buyer and seller, although they are usually borne by the buyer. A specialized attorney will advise you so that all fees are clearly stated in the contract and prevent you from paying more than the legally required amount.
What taxes do I have to pay when buying a home?
The buyer must pay taxes such as the Property Transfer Tax (ITP) for existing homes or VAT for new construction, in addition to the AJD (documented legal acts). A real estate lawyer will guide you on which taxes apply and how to calculate them so your transaction is fully regularized.
What are hidden defects in a home?
Hidden defects are serious defects that are not easily detected at the time of purchase, such as dampness, structural defects, or electrical or plumbing problems. These can lead the buyer to seek repairs or compensation from the seller. Our team of lawyers specializing in hidden defects can help you effectively assert your rights.
Can a lawyer help me negotiate the earnest money contract?
Yes. The earnest money contract is a crucial step in the sale and purchase process, as it sets out the terms of the transaction and the penalties for noncompliance. A lawyer reviews and adapts the earnest money contract to protect your interests and avoid financial losses.
