Overview:
Buying or selling a property is a significant transaction – whether it is your dream home, a strategic investment, or an addition to a company’s real estate portfolio. While the process may appear straightforward, it often hides legal and practical complexities that can catch buyers and sellers off guard, especially in the secondary market (commonly referred to as the sub-sale market). Missteps in these transactions can lead to costly delays, disputes, or even fraud, leaving parties financially and emotionally drained.
Join us in this talk as we discuss the common challenges faced in sub-sale transactions for residential properties and explain how professional and effective legal representation can protect your rights, mitigate risks, and help you successfully conclude your transaction.
Talk Points:
- Differences between developer projects and sub-sale transactions
- Risks and pitfalls in sub-sale transactions
- Applicable stamp duty exemption in 2025
- Tips and advice when purchasing properties
