Help with real estate contracts and negotiations

A real estate contract lawyer drafts and negotiates the agreements behind property deals. Typical matters include purchase and sale agreements, reservation and preliminary contracts, commercial and residential leases, options, development agreements and the conditions, deposits and penalties written into them. The lawyer also speaks with the other side's adviser, the agent and the notary so that the terms you agreed verbally end up on paper.

Property law is national, and the form of a real estate contract varies a lot. In many civil law countries a private preliminary contract is followed by a notarial deed, and the deposit rules are set by law. In common law systems solicitors or attorneys exchange contracts and complete the transfer through the land registry. Foreign buyers may face extra restrictions, permits or tax checks, and local custom decides who pays which costs.

Fees are often fixed or a percentage of the price for a straightforward purchase, and hourly for complex negotiations or commercial leases. Contingency fees are uncommon in transactional property work and not allowed in many countries. Notary charges, transfer taxes and registry duties are separate.

Time limits are written into the deal. Conditions for financing or surveys must be met by set dates, deposits can be lost if you withdraw late and claims for hidden defects must be raised within limited periods. Before hiring, ask how the lawyer will check title and charges, which clauses protect your deposit, how they handle negotiation with the seller or landlord and what the total fee will be. Filter by country or city below to find law firms that handle each real estate contract with care.
