FAQ

When should a lawyer get involved?

As early as possible — before signing any memorandum of understanding. A preliminary document signed without counsel can bind you legally and weaken your negotiating position.

What due diligence is essential?

Title extract, liens and attachments, permit compliance, municipal debts and levies, and the property's planning status.

What does legal counsel cost in a property deal?

The fee is usually a percentage of the transaction value, by complexity. We present a transparent fee quote up front.

What matters when buying from a developer?

Sale Law guarantees for every payment, the technical specification, delivery schedules and compensation mechanisms — plus negotiated reservations to the contract.
