Real Estate Sale and Purchase Step by Step – Part I.

A secure real estate transaction requires an accurate assessment of the legal conditions and risks involved, together with careful planning of the successive stages of the transaction. The first part of this series outlines the principal stages of a sale and purchase, the examination of the property’s legal status, the significance of the purchase offer, earnest money and advance payments, as well as the key issues relating to financing, the discharge of encumbrances, the buyer’s right linked to retention of title, rights of pre-emption, usufruct and undivided co-ownership.

The commission is certain, everything else is not – a guide to the legal maze of real estate agency

Real estate agency practice oversteps at several points the role that the law assigns to the agent. In recent years the courts have found an entire series of standard contract terms used by nationwide networks to be unfair, while the receipt of buyers' funds and the drafting of transaction documents fall into areas where the agent's involvement has neither a statutory basis nor any institutional guarantee. Drawing on the applicable legislation and published case law, this article examines where the legal boundaries of real estate agency lie, what happens when practice crosses them, and what to watch out for before entering into a contract.

The Countersigning Attorney as Attesting Person

In sale and purchase transactions concluded with a party who cannot read or does not understand the language of the contract, the countersigning attorney may fulfil the role of the attesting person. Through the interpretation of Section 6:7(4) of the Hungarian Civil Code, the legal literature and the case law, the article demonstrates why neither a notary public nor transaction witnesses are required to fulfil this role.
