Presale and purchase agreement in Romania

Civil litigation lawyer in Romania. Presale and purchase agreement in Romania

Considering that the stakes of a sale contract in Romania in the real estate market are quite high, whether you are in the position of selling real estate or buying real estate, following certain steps before concluding the sale contract in Romania can prevent potential misunderstandings or risks related to delays in delivery or changes to the initial project.

In this regard, the process of purchase of real estate in Romania from a real estate developer in Romania sometimes involves entering into a presale and purchase agreement in Romania with the developer or what is known as a promise to sell. The presale and purchase agreement in Romania is essentially a promise to sell between the buyer and the real estate developer in Romania, providing a guarantee to both parties that they will enter into the sale contract in Romania in the future, a guarantee provided by the advance payment made by the buyer at the time the presale and purchase agreement in Romania is signed or at the agreed term.

Consulting the services of a civil lawyer in Romania or real estate lawyer in Romania is essential at this point, as they can handle negotiations with any real estate developer in Romania on the real estate market in Romania to obtain favorable conditions for the client and, at the same time, can alert the client to unfavorable clauses that leave room for interpretation and could lead to future disputes between the parties.

Civil lawyer in Romania. Sale contract in Romania

According to the law, any real estate property can be the subject of a presale and purchase agreement in Romania entered into between the buyer and a real estate developer in Romania. The two parties involved in the presale and purchase agreement in Romania are referred to as the promissory buyer and the promissory seller. When deciding to establish the essential elements of the future sale contract in Romania, they must consider the object of the real estate transaction, namely purchase of real estate in Romania, the price of the property on the real estate market in Romania, the delivery term, as well as other clauses that may be deemed decisive for concluding the contract.

The law does not require an authentic form for the presale and purchase agreement in Romania, as it can also be done through a private signature document. However, The Romanian Law Firm Pavel Mărgărit and Associates in Romania recommends the authentic form before a public notary, as it provides additional legal protection in case of disputes between the parties. For example, registration in the land registry in Romania will ensure enforceability against third parties, thus protecting the buyer from possible successive sale of real estate in Romania operations. Additionally, if one of the parties refuses to fulfill its obligations under the presale and purchase agreement in Romania, it will have greater evidentiary force in court than a private signature document, which is why parties are less likely to breach their obligations stipulated in the SPA.

Consulting a civil litigation lawyer in Romania or real estate lawyer in Romania is a recommended option when you wish to conclude a promise of sale, as they have the necessary legal expertise to ensure the drafting, reviewing, negotiating, registration in the land registry in Romania, and representation before the public notary for the authentication of the sale contract in Romania, namely the purchase of real estate in Romania.

Real estate lawyer in Romania. Due diligence report in Romania

Performing a due diligence report in Romania is also an important step in the process of sale of real estate in Romania. This is carried out before concluding the presale and purchase agreement in Romania and can influence its clauses. Through a due diligence report in Romania, all legal and material aspects of the property are checked to avoid risks that may arise after the conclusion of a sale contract in Romania. The checks involve analyzing the legal status of the property from the perspective of disputes, the existence of encumbrances on the property, as well as any property servitudes affecting the asset. Additionally, a real estate lawyer in Romania consults property publicity registers, such as extracts from the land registry in Romania, and checks for any existing lease or loan agreements on the property, as well as the status of building permits, if applicable. It is important that a real estate developer in Romania presents a valid building permit, as a construction without a permit can have legal consequences for the buyer.

The Romanian Law Firm Pavel Mărgărit and Associates in Romania recommends collaborating with lawyers for sale and purchase agreement in Romania or a civil litigation lawyer in Romania to carry out a due diligence report in Romania for complete information about the legal and material state of the property, preventing potential disputes and ensuring a safe and transparent transaction.
