Pre-sale legal audit
FRELA offers a comprehensive service of audit and preparation prior to listing. A property or business that is up to date with its legal obligations will sell at a better price and more quickly. Our lawyers can specifically verify ownership arrangements, donations or transactions made prior to the sale, as well as the use and purpose of the property. We also ensure compliance with tax regulations and simulate the tax impacts of a sale.
Urban planning regularization
If you have doubts about the legality of your construction works in relation to the Local Urban Plan (LUP), even though they have been authorized by the competent authorities, or if you have carried out works without the required urban planning authorization or if the works are not in compliance with the prior declaration or building permit, FRELA can assist you in obtaining a regularization building permit.
This includes cases such as:
- Construction or modification of a building
- Change of use of a building
- Subdivision of a plot of land into several lots
- Land development
Coordination of intermediaries
The real estate lawyer is a legal professional appointed by a client to assist them in the purchase or sale of a property. They are responsible for ensuring the proper execution of various stages of the real estate transaction and safeguarding the interests of their client.
FRELA lawyers coordinate the parties involved in a real estate transaction, such as notaries, real estate agencies, and clients. In this role, our primary function is to ensure an efficient and secure management of the transaction, ensuring that all legal aspects of the transaction are properly addressed and our clients’ interests are protected.
Legal aspects of offer and acceptance
Trust the verification of your purchase offer to mandataire lawyers specializing in acquisitions law.
Understand the legal and tax implications of the purchase offer submitted by your potential buyer.
If you are selling a property, you will need to accept, refuse, or negotiate a purchase offer. To secure an offer, it is necessary to sign a written purchase offer that is countersigned by the seller (this agreement confirms mutual assent regarding the “subject matter and price”, any agreement, even a simple one, can have significant consequences for both parties).
Drafting of urgent compromises
FRELA assists you in drafting the content of your urgent purchase agreements.
In France, an “urgent” purchase agreement for real estate is a preliminary sales contract that commits both the buyer and the seller to proceed with the real estate transaction. This agreement is also known as a “synallagmatic promise to sell” or a “unilateral promise to sell.” It is called “urgent” because it is typically used for real estate transactions that need to be concluded quickly. It is also used to secure a sale by ensuring that the buyer does not withdraw and that the seller does not sell to another person during a specified period.
