Real Estate

Buying Property

We provide a full-service solution for property acquisitions across multiple jurisdictions. Our team handles the drafting, review, and negotiation of preliminary agreements proposed by sellers. During the preliminary stage, we conduct comprehensive legal searches to verify ownership and ensure the property is free from liabilities. We also coordinate with architects for technical checks and assist with estate planning considerations, such as drafting wills to govern property abroad. For clients seeking enhanced structuring, property can also be acquired through companies or trusts for tax efficiency and asset protection.

Renting Property

Renting property internationally can be a swift process, but securing favourable terms requires expert guidance. CCLEX property lawyers assist clients in identifying the ideal lease structure, including duration, payment schedules, and renewal options. We negotiate on behalf of clients, liaise with real estate agents, and manage permit requirements to ensure compliance. Our experience spans residential leases for private homes and luxury apartments, as well as commercial leases for offices, retail outlets, hotels, and industrial spaces.

Residential Property Overseas

The purchase or sale of residential property abroad is often a significant and emotional decision. Challenges such as unfamiliar legal systems, language barriers, and cultural differences can complicate the process. CCLEX provides tailored support for families and individuals seeking to buy, sell, or lease residential property internationally. Our team negotiates and drafts agreements, conducts due diligence, and ensures compliance with local regulations, delivering a seamless experience for every client.

Selling Overseas Property

While selling property abroad can appear straightforward, expert legal guidance is essential to protect your interests. CCLEX offers a one-stop solution, from introducing sellers to trusted agents and valuers to negotiating and drafting deeds of sale. We also provide strategic tax advice to optimise returns and ensure compliance. Our team coordinates with architects, banks, and other stakeholders to guarantee smooth transactions and efficient project delivery.
