Real Estate in Israel
Real estate in Israel has long been viewed not only as a means of securing housing for oneself and one’s family, but also as a profitable investment asset. This is primarily due to the steady and continuous increase in property prices, driven by a shortage of residential housing and consistently high demand. Apartments and houses in Israel attract new repatriates planning to settle permanently in the country, Israelis dividing their time between two countries, and investors from around the world — regardless of their background.
An attorney may represent both parties in a real estate transaction; however, it is strongly recommended that the buyer retain their own real estate attorney to ensure their interests are fully and exclusively protected.

REAL ESTATE LAWYER SERVICES
An Israeli real estate lawyer handles the entire property purchase process — from conducting due diligence to registering ownership in the Land Registry. In many cases, their involvement continues beyond the purchase if the property is placed under trust management.

Experience in Real Estate Transaction Support
Despite the strong legal protections afforded to investors under Israeli law, it is essential to act proactively at every stage of the transaction to avoid potential sanctions or financial losses caused by circumstances beyond the buyer’s control.
An experienced lawyer specializing in consulting and supporting real estate transactions in Israel understands what to focus on when signing a purchase/sale agreement with a property seller, how to minimize the client’s risks during contract execution, and which strategy to adopt for obtaining a mortgage and optimizing tax liabilities when purchasing a property.

Our experience and knowledge of the practices of Israel’s leading developers will help protect your interests, prevent fraud, save money, and make the home-buying process smoother and more secure.
