Real Estate Law is the set of rules and laws that regulate all the operations that can be carried out on property that the law defines as real estate -those that, due to their physical characteristics, cannot be moved from the place where they are located-, both between citizens and between a private individual and the public administration.
It is therefore responsible for regulating all real estate transactions: how the rights that a natural or legal person has over immovable property or part of it are created, transferred, modified, acquired or extinguished, as well as the taxes and charges that must be paid for each of these operations. It also covers aspects relating to managing these properties, i.e. planning permissions, building licences and the rules governing neighbourhood communities.
As is the case with other branches of law, Real Estate Law is a vast subject, and its regulation is carried out through various laws that correspond to different legal areas.
For this reason, the principal regulations in the field of Real Estate Law are enormously extensive and complex and, as they cover different areas such as Housing, Urban Leases and Horizontal Property, they require the specialised advice of professionals with extensive professional experience in these areas.
Furthermore, in addition to all of the above, it is worth highlighting the Land Registry figure, which establishes mechanisms for registering and publicising the legal situation of the same.
For all these reasons, and given the great importance and complexity of Real Estate and Registry Law, at LEXPYME, we offer our clients comprehensive legal advice on all matters relating to this area.
