Practice area guide

What does a real estate lawyer do?

Real estate law covers buying, selling, leasing, financing and developing land and buildings. Lawyers check title and planning status, draft and negotiate sale and lease agreements, handle registration and transfer taxes, and resolve disputes between owners, tenants, lenders and neighbours. Procedures differ by country and often by state or province.

How do I choose a real estate lawyer?

  1. Ask whether the lawyer handles residential or commercial property, and transactions or disputes, and pick one who does your kind of work.
  2. Ask for a written quote; purchases are often charged as a fixed fee or a percentage, plus registry fees and taxes.
  3. Bring the title documents, the draft contract or lease, plans and any survey or inspection reports.
