Make Your Life Easier by Trusting Us
Our lawyers will make your real estate transaction simple by dealing with issues on your behalf to close your deal, all while protecting your interests. Without a lawyer acting on your behalf, common issues such as boundary line disputes, boundary encroachments, unregistered claims and other title issues may turn a simple transaction into a lengthy and complicated process, and in some cases can be a “deal breaker”.
In anticipation of your closing day, our St. John’s real estate lawyers will ensure:
- That you are purchasing or selling “clear” title to the property (free and clear of encumbrances) – meaning that there are no other people who could potentially have a claim to the property which you are buying, and there are no financial institutions or other creditors who have a legal claim against the property (e.g., registered mortgage or lien);
- That the transaction proceeds on the basis of the agreement of purchase and sale, as negotiated between the purchaser and vendor
- That you are getting the quantity of land, quality of house, and all of the contents which you have bargained for;
- That you are left with peace of mind that all matters around proper paperwork, warranties and obligations, are being dealt with.
