Legal assistance ensures that all necessary documentation is properly reviewed and that the property you are purchasing is free of issues such as liens, unpaid mortgages, or legal disputes. We also ensure that the transaction complies with local laws and regulations, safeguarding your investment.
What is due diligence in the property purchase process?
Due diligence involves a thorough investigation of the property's legal standing, including title verification, checking for any liens or mortgages, and confirming that the property adheres to local zoning and planning regulations. This process helps prevent potential legal complications in the future.

What documents do you verify during the purchase process?
We verify all critical documents, including the property title, mortgage or lien history, and compliance with local laws such as zoning and building regulations. We also review or draft the promissory contract (CPCV) and the final deed to ensure your interests are protected.
What is a promissory contract (CPCV)?
The promissory contract (CPCV) is an agreement between the buyer and the seller that outlines the terms of the sale before the final deed is signed. It is legally binding and ensures that both parties agree to the conditions of the sale.
How long does the legal process typically take?
The length of the legal process depends on several factors, including the complexity of the property transaction and any issues that arise during due diligence. On average, it can take a few weeks to a few months. We work efficiently to ensure a timely transaction while maintaining thoroughness.
What happens after the deed is signed?
Once the deed is signed, we assist with the local registration of the property to officially transfer ownership in the land registry. This final step ensures that your ownership is legally recognized and documented.
