Residential Real Estate Transactions
Residential real estate transactions may concern contracts, easements, property lines, and titles. Buying a home, especially as a first-time buyer, is a major financial decision that involves significant paperwork, financial agreements and documentation, and contractual negotiations. This can be an exciting and sometimes stressful process, particularly in cases where escrows and sales fall through because of a later discovery or disclosure. Our attorneys thoroughly understand the detailed legal matters associated with these transactions and can help you secure a deal that is in your best interest.
Commercial Real Estate Considerations
Commercial real estate transactions often include the buying or selling of property, development contracts with the city that require permits, or lease agreements. Some difficulties that may arise in these transactions are:
- Discrepancies between rent due date and the commencement date: If the building owner is still working on the space you are going to rent, there may be a gap between your first payment and the actual date you move in.
- Renewing a lease: Commercial owners benefit from lengthier lease agreements, wanting you to commit to the contract for several years at the start. A real estate attorney can help you review the lease agreement and negotiate for a shorter lease period.
- Subletting: If during your lease you have to relocate, subletting the space seems like the natural course of action. However, many landlords view this unfavorably. It is important to make sure the provision is in the initial agreement.
- Non-disturbance: If during your tenancy the commercial property is subject to foreclosure, you could find yourself evicted and your contract cancelled. This can be avoided by including a non-disturbance clause in your lease agreement that allows you to remain on the property and finish your lease.
