Real estate lawyer - professional consultation

According to the legislative acts of Ukraine, real estate is objects, land plots, dachas, buildings and other property whose relocation is considered impossible without devaluing or damaging its purpose.

Over recent years, the current legislation has undergone numerous changes and amendments concerning the sale, distribution, valuation of real estate and even the definition of the concept itself. That is why professional consultation is of utmost importance in matters related to real estate if you do not wish to get confused in legislative nuances.

The real estate lawyers of the "Absolute" Law Agency handle full support of cases related to real estate and help with the preparation of the necessary documentation for land or other real estate property.
 

The Civil Code of Ukraine classifies property as objects of civil rights, proceeding from the division of things into two categories – movable and immovable. The terminology commonly used in the Civil Code and other legislative acts is «real estate», «immovable property», «immovable things». According to the principal laws, this category primarily includes land plots and objects built on them.

The «Absolute» company offers the following real estate services:

• provision of legal services on buying and selling real estate, registration of property rights to real estate, legalisation of self-built structures, privatisation of attics, etc.;

• presence of real estate lawyers during the signing of contracts;

• representation of your interests in court or in other state authorities regarding real estate disputes;

Legal support of buying an apartment on the secondary market

When buying an apartment on the secondary market, it is important to buy coveted housing rather than to obtain square metres of ownership with a long list of existing problems attached. For this purpose, we recommend carrying out a comprehensive legal analysis of the property for sale and contacting lawyers to prepare a contract that would protect your interests as the Buyer as much as possible. Real estate lawyers specialising in real estate transaction support take a responsible approach to every home purchase.

Legal support of buying an apartment on the secondary market provides for two possible service packages:

• Preparation of our own draft contract (preliminary and main) for the sale and purchase of an apartment, which allows maximum protection of our Client’s interests (taking into account all guarantees, liability, detailed definition of the rights and obligations of the parties, advance payment amounts). In the contract we prescribe all possible seller guarantees for the buyer as our Client – from the guarantee to deregister all registered persons to guarantees of the absence of illegal redevelopment in the apartment and the like.
• Legal support when signing the contract, offering our own verified and reliable notary.
• Analysis of documents for the property being sold (documents certifying ownership, check in the register of rights to real estate property; study of the technical passport, house register, comparison of technical passport data with the actual state of affairs).
• Study of the apartment’s history (checking the inventory file at the BTI, redevelopments or refurbishments made to the apartment; information on a change of owner, absence of debts for utility payments).
• Analysis of the condition of the building in which the apartment is located (information on the emergency condition (information from the housing departments); information on whether the building is a monument of architecture, whether certain restrictions associated with this exist).
• Obtaining other kinds of information (criminal records of owners, information about neighbours (conflict-proneness, the number of police calls over a certain period to the building address), existing problems in the residential building or their absence).
• Preparation of our own draft contract (preliminary and main) for the sale and purchase of an apartment, which allows maximum protection of our Client’s interests (taking into account all guarantees, liability, detailed definition of the rights and obligations of the parties, advance payment amounts). In the contract we prescribe all possible seller guarantees for the buyer as our Client – from the guarantee to deregister all registered persons to guarantees of the absence of illegal redevelopment in the apartment and the like.
• Legal support when signing the contract, offering our own verified and reliable notary.
• Analysis of documents for the property being sold (documents certifying ownership, check against the register; study of the technical passport, house register, comparison of technical passport data with the actual state of affairs).

The most common types of contracts encountered when buying real estate in new buildings:

• contract of shared participation in the Housing Construction Cooperative;
• preliminary contract for the sale and purchase of an apartment;
• contract of participation in the Fund for financing the construction of a multi-apartment residential building;
• contract for the sale of property rights to an apartment;
• cooperation agreement;
• investment contract, etc.

Additionally, real estate specialists verify and analyse the history of the business activities of the developer and real estate seller companies, and also monitor publications and reviews on the internet concerning the activities of your counterparties.

Usually, the sale of apartments in a new building is handled by the sales department of the developer company or an intermediary company, whose employees may not have complete information regarding the terms of the contract, and therefore it often happens that information obtained from the selling party may not fully correspond to the terms of the contract being concluded. In addition, sellers, as a rule, receive a commission fee from the sale of each apartment, and therefore willingly tell about the terms that are beneficial to the buyer and keep silent about the terms that are not beneficial. There is nothing surprising about this, it is business.

How can a real estate lawyer help?

• First, a real estate lawyer, if he genuinely has practice in analysing real estate acquisition contracts, will from the very first glance draw your attention to the risks you take upon yourself when concluding this or that contract. Such a specialist will help you from the other side to soberly assess the terms of the contract for the acquisition of real estate property.
• Second, a real estate lawyer has reviewed and analysed more than a dozen, and possibly hundreds of contracts for the acquisition into ownership of housing on the primary real estate market, and has also reviewed the permit documentation of a large number of developers, and therefore the lawyer knows about the reliability of certain developers and the compliance of their documents with current standards and requirements.
• Third, a real estate lawyer has not only theoretical but also practical experience in judicial and non-judicial settlement of disputes that arise with dishonest developers.
