Legal support of transactions with commercial real estate

Almost every company aims to purchase or lease commercial real estate. These include industrial and commercial premises that often involve high financial value. On one hand, commercial property is a liquid asset. On the other hand, it is also a frequent target for fraudulent schemes. A qualified lawyer can help minimize risks during the contract process. The lawyers at DTK Partners are ready to support you in acquiring an office, warehouse, or other industrial property.

Legal Support in Property Acquisition

 

Before finalizing a real estate transaction, the buyer typically considers the location, size, and characteristics of the property. After negotiating a price with the owner, you may be ready to transfer the funds. However, it is important not to rush.

You may face the following risks:

  • The property is subject to third-party rights

  • The premises are mortgaged or already leased

  • The seller does not hold legal ownership

  • The land underneath belongs to another party

  • A proxy is acting on behalf of the seller

These are just some of the potential risks for the buyer. Sellers of commercial property are also vulnerable to losses, including fraud during payment transfers or intentional errors in contracts.

A DTK Partners legal expert can help reduce these risks and safeguard your interests throughout a complex transaction.

Legal Assistance by DTK Partners

 

One of the most important stages is verifying that the property has no encumbrances and that the seller has full legal ownership. Independent attempts to verify this often lead to errors or missed risks.

With a notarized power of attorney, DTK Partners lawyers can act fully on your behalf, saving you valuable time and effort.

To document the terms agreed upon, it is recommended to draft a preliminary sale agreement. However, this is a binding legal document. Failing to fulfill it can lead to serious consequences. That’s why it must be prepared carefully and professionally.

To reduce legal risks, we strongly advise engaging DTK Partners’ real estate specialists to oversee the transaction. We provide legal services in Moscow and throughout Russia.
