Real Estate and Construction Law

Drafting and Negotiation of Real Estate Contracts

Our objective is to determine the critical factors, from the negotiation of the terms of the agreement to the design and execution.

We acquire the necessary tools required for the negotiation in order to achieve the most beneficial agreements.  We identify and draft the most appropriate clauses in the best interests of the buyer and/or seller.

We also identify the inherent risks and establish the contingency guarantees with a view to securing agreements with conditions and clauses that satisfy all parties.

Our experts are fully qualified to deal with with the enforcement of real estate contracts, using all of the legal means available according to the Civil Code.

The high prefessionalism and experience of this law firm has recently lead to the success if a very complex legal case, details of which were published in the EL Pais newspaper in July 2013 and in the UK press.

The case related to a group of British buyers who were on the verge of losing their deposits after having paid for off plan properties that were never completed.  The developer and the bank behind the project refused to pay back the deposits.

Thanks to the hard work and professionalism of De Castro lawyers, we were able to get all monies returned to the buyers, a final figure that reached into the the millions of Euros.
