Real estate

Real estate decisions carry significant financial and legal consequences. Whether you buy, sell, lease or develop property, you want every step to be properly secured. Understanding rights, obligations and risks allows you to act with confidence.

By aligning your transactions and contracts with your objectives, you avoid unforeseen costs and disputes. This ensures your real estate supports both your business strategy and your long term plans.

Recognizable situations

Situations you recognize, answers that help you move forward.

Purchasing commercial real estate involves numerous legal and tax considerations. These include due diligence, soil certificates, urban planning requirements, registration duties and the choice between purchasing through the company or privately. The financing structure and intended future use also play an important role.

Thorough preparation and legal review of all documents are crucial. This helps you avoid unexpected costs, disputes or liability risks. Proper guidance ensures a legally sound and strategically informed purchase.

A commercial lease is fundamentally different from residential rental agreements. Duration, termination terms, repairs, indexation and usage conditions must be tailored to your business activity. For retail leases, specific legal rules apply and must be strictly respected.

A clear and balanced contract helps prevent disputes during the lease period. Have your lease drafted or reviewed legally, and include clauses on renovations, liability and early termination.

Long lease (erfpacht) and building rights (opstal) give you long-term usage or construction rights without owning the land. These structures are often beneficial in real estate planning, project development or for tax and legal efficiency.

A notarial deed is required and must clearly define duration, fees, transferability, responsibilities and what happens to buildings at the end of the term. Proper contractual arrangements prevent disputes and ensure legal certainty.
