Do you need a real estate lawyer before you make an offer on a home or condo?

Purchasing a house or condominium will be, for many people, the single largest and most important purchase of their lives.  While buying a house may seem like a milestone or rite of passage that everyone strives for, you are not required to handle it alone.  Many things can go wrong during the purchase and transfer of property.  Your Edmonton real estate lawyer can ensure that your transaction goes as smoothly as possible.

Realtors generally provide their clients with standard documents with which to make an offer on a property.  However, the standard form agreement does not necessarily work in your specific circumstances. 

Many home buyers and sellers include conditions in the agreement, which means that the transfer of the home will only occur if the condition is met by a specific date. Common conditions include that the buyer is able to sell their current residence or that the buyer is able to obtain financing for the purchase. Your Edmonton real estate lawyer will make sure that you understand how all the provisions of your agreement work before you commit to purchasing the property. 

Purchasing a condo

Buying and owning a condominium comes with its own unique legal challenges and these challenges may differ depending on whether you are buying a new condo from a developer or purchasing a resale property.  Condominiums tend to have a variety of restrictions on what you can and cannot do with your property as an owner.  These restrictions are generally in place to protect the interests of the other owners, with whom you will be sharing communal property.   It is vital that you understand all of these restrictions and decide whether you can live with them before you make an offer on a condominium. 

Supervision for the entire transaction

Your real estate lawyer will do more than just offer advice before you agree to purchase a property.  Once you have signed an agreement, your lawyer can help you:

  • obtain financing
  • provide all the necessary documentation to close the sale and
  • ensure that documents are properly registered.
