REAL ESTATE LAW IN BRONX, ALL OF NEW YORK CITY AND WESTCHESTER COUNTY
Home ownership can provide you with many benefits including secure shelter, a long-term investment, and tax advantages. However, a home is also a major financial commitment. There are ways to avoid costly mistakes that can strain your budget and your patience.
The purchase of a home or a commercial piece of real estate is often the largest single investment that a person makes in his or her lifetime. This can be a relatively complicated process, and the assistance of an experienced attorney in all aspects of the transaction – from pre-contract negotiations to post-closing follow-through – is critical in protecting your interests.
What We Do For You
- Purchase Contract – our lawyer can prepare the document or review a printed form agreement that you receive from your real estate agent.
- Deposit – Our lawyer can advise you about the circumstances that affect your rights to the deposit
- Conditions – Before you sign a purchase contract, our lawyer can make sure it contains provisions allowing you to cancel the purchase and get your deposit back if your conditions are not met.
- Closing the Purchase – Our lawyer usually attends the closing to assure that the documents and computation of closing costs are correct
- Closing Costs – Our lawyer can tell you what to expect in closing costs and which are tax deductible.
Using a Lawyer
A lawyer can help you through the home buying process by preparing or reviewing the purchase contract, advising you about financing and title insurance, answering your legal and tax questions and arranging for the documents necessary to complete the purchase. When you first visit a lawyer, you can ask for an estimate of legal fees and closing costs.
You should consult a lawyer before you sign a contract to buy a home. Although a printed form may be used for the purchase contact, you lawyer can make changes that protect you. For example, a change in the form may give you right to cancel the purchase (and get a refund of your deposit) if you obtain an unsatisfactory inspection report.
