Real Estate
A real-estate deal is often the largest transaction a person or company makes. A gap in due diligence or drafting can be costly and may surface only years later.
We represent buyers, sellers, landlords, developers and institutions throughout the deal: preliminary checks, negotiation and contract, tax reporting and registration.

Frequently asked questions
What should be checked before buying an apartment in Israel?
Among other things: the Land Registry extract, liens and attachments, building permits and deviations, municipal debts, and zoning plans that may affect the property.
Do foreign residents need an Israeli lawyer to buy property?
In practice, yes. Israeli transactions are conducted in Hebrew, involve local registration and tax reporting, and documents signed abroad often require notarisation or an apostille.
