Real Estate
The Real-Estate section of Sarfaty Advocaten consists of several lawyers. This section not only focuses on the purchase and sale of real estate, but also on landlord & tenant law involving business property (retail space and office space) as well as residential space in the broadest sense, homeowner-association law, and construction law.
Transactions (purchase & sale)
The lawyers of Sarfaty Advocaten may provide legal assistance in the purchase and sale of real estate. They gained broad experience in drafting and assessment of sales agreements and may assist you if, after delivery, it turns out that the home you purchased has several (latent) defects.
Landlord & Tenant Law
Today, nothing is as changeable as the rules governing real estate, especially when it comes to landlord & tenant law. Sarfaty Advocaten is specialized in landlord & tenant law with regard to retail space, office space and residential space. Each type of real estate has its own rules. We may provide you with legal advice as to which specific rules you ought to include in the lease agreement you are about to sign, or which specific rules you ought to object to. We may also advise you what to do if a defect is discovered in the property you rent (for instance a leak). Our lawyers are familiar with the latest legislation in an extremely volatile market and may advise you on what to be alert for and what to agree on (or not).
Construction law
If you are a building contractor who is faced with a non-paying principal, if the building contractor engaged by you acting acts in breach of his arrangements, or if it turns out that the home delivered to you has a defect, Sarfaty Advocaten may advise you on what measures you could take. If needed, our lawyers will initiate legal proceedings or initiate arbitration proceedings before the Arbitration Board for the Dutch Building Industry. All lawyers of Sarfaty Advocaten have extensive litigation experience.
Homeowner-Association Law
Are you, as a homeowner, faced with decisions by your homeowners’ association that you wish to object to, or does the homeowners’ association deny you permission, for instance, for an extension to your home or for the construction of a roof terrace? The lawyers of Sarfaty Advocaten may provide you with legal advice on the different options for a successful notice of objection against a homeowner-association decision or whether, instead, it is better to request permission in court for your construction plans. The lawyers of Sarfaty Advocaten may also provide legal advice on changing your deed of property division or on the applicable Model Regulations concerning Division into Apartment Rights.
