Our real estate lawyers can advise and represent you in a wide range of real estate-related matters, including legal proceedings.
The lawyers at HAUT Legal primarily advise entrepreneurs, real estate developers, and commercial landlords and tenants on the purchase, sale, leasing, and development of real estate. Real estate matters often involve significant financial interests and long-term obligations. HAUT Legal provides legal advice at an early stage on proposed real estate transactions, the terms of agreements, mortgage and transfer deeds, and potential legal risks. Our lawyers can also represent you if a dispute has already arisen. In such cases, we assess what has been legally agreed and what this means for you in practice.
A real estate lawyer can assist you when buying or selling a (commercial) property, entering into a lease agreement, developing real estate, or dealing with a real estate-related dispute.
Various legal rights can affect your options and obligations when dealing with real estate. These may include easements, rights of superficies, property attachments, or a municipality’s right of first refusal.
Seeking legal advice before signing an agreement can be particularly valuable. This allows you to take existing rights, restrictions, and obligations into account when making your decision or negotiating terms with another party.
When buying or selling real estate, several legal aspects must be considered in addition to the purchase price and the condition of the property. HAUT Legal advises and assists you in drafting and reviewing purchase agreements, mortgage deeds and deeds of transfer, and identifying potential legal risks. A property or plot of land may also be subject to third-party rights, such as easements, leasehold rights or rights of superficies, which may affect its use, ownership or transfer. HAUT Legal helps you understand these rights and the associated obligations, enabling you to make informed decisions.
When buying or selling real estate, HAUT Legal examines the applicable legal provisions and identifies any obligations or restrictions affecting the property or plot of land. For example, an easement may grant a third party the right to use (part of) the property. Rights of superficies, prejudgment or enforcement attachments, and municipal rights of first refusal may also affect the use or transfer of real estate.
Our lawyers assess the legal implications of these rights and restrictions and advise you on potential risks. This gives you a clear understanding of your legal position and enables you to make informed decisions when negotiating the purchase or sale of real estate.
A significant part of HAUT Legal’s real estate practice focuses on tenancy law. HAUT Legal primarily represents commercial landlords and tenants, assisting with the drafting and reviewing of lease agreements. Real estate developers who intend to lease newly constructed properties after completion also seek legal assistance from HAUT Legal.
The applicable legal rules depend, among other things, on the type of property being leased. Different regulations apply to residential properties, retail and hospitality premises, and other commercial properties, particularly regarding the duration and termination of lease agreements.
If problems arise during the lease period, HAUT Legal can provide legal advice and represent you both in and out of court in matters involving rent arrears, rent adjustments, property defects, renovations, termination of lease agreements, and eviction disputes.
Are you developing real estate with the intention of selling or leasing it? Various legal questions may arise throughout the project.
HAUT Legal can advise you on contractual agreements, rights affecting the property, and the conditions under which a property will be sold or leased after development. By assessing these matters at an early stage, you can take them into account during the development process and when negotiating agreements with third parties.
Legal questions and disputes may also arise during construction projects and within homeowners’ associations (VvE). In construction law matters, HAUT Legal advises on construction contracts, contractual arrangements and general terms and conditions, additional and reduced work, defects identified upon completion, and construction delays.
Within Dutch homeowners’ association law, legal questions may concern association resolutions, the use of communal areas, and the interpretation of the deed of division and the association’s regulations. Disputes may also arise regarding the validity of resolutions adopted during homeowners’ association meetings.
Do you have a legal question related to real estate? Contact HAUT Legal by telephone or email. Our lawyers will usually begin with a telephone consultation to discuss your situation and the questions you have. If further assessment is required, they will request the relevant documents.
You will then receive an estimate of the work involved, the expected time commitment, and the associated costs. HAUT Legal will only begin working on your case after you have approved the engagement letter.
