Real Estate

Real estate is considered to be one of the few inflation-proof investments. This factor attracts many potential buyers and requires forward-looking and long-term planning – both for private and institutional investors. Organisational structures and compliance with legal conditions form the basis for successful real estate projects in order to minimise risks.

SAXINGER will be by your side throughout the entire life cycle of a property, starting from a structured acquisition, through planning and construction, including financing, to management and realisation. We are your reliable partner, developing sustainable solutions for your property together with you. 

Need for Advice in Real Estate Law

Comprehensive legal advice is essential to successfully shape the entire life cycle of a property. Each real estate project has specific, individual requirements that come to the fore during the support period. A well-thought-out structure will evaluate and mitigate risks, such as market risks, loss of value or vacancy risks, at an early stage of the process.

In this respect, our legal advice will support you with:

• A thorough review (due diligence) of the property, including legal, financial and technical aspects
• Clarification of issues under construction law, contract law and tax law as well as contract design
• Planning the implementation of construction projects to ensure legal and financial efficiency
• Minimising risk with respect to any potential challenges
• Creating structured financing models to ensure the financial protection of projects
