WHY LEGAL CONSULTATION IS IMPORTANT

WHY LEGAL CONSULTATION IS IMPORTANT

Today, a new client contacted Apex Chambers, Property/Real Estate and Business Lawyers/Attorneys, for legal advice after making a serious mistake in a land buying transaction.

He had paid the full purchase price for a piece of land without preparing or signing any legal documents.

Shortly after payment, the seller changed his mind and said he was not going ahead with the sale. Obviously, he got a higher offer from another buyer. The vendor refused to refund the money, insisting that he would only do so after two weeks.

Unfortunately, no Property Lawyer was involved in the transaction from the start.

We always emphasize the importance of legal consultation before paying for land/building. A Property Lawyer ensures that a land/building transaction is properly documented, legally binding and in the best interest of the buyer.

As a buyer without legal guidance, you run the risk of losing your money, facing disputes and dealing with unnecessary stress.

Many land buyers assume verbal agreements or mere proof of payment/receipt are enough. Without legally enforceable documents, you stand on shaky ground.

The lesson is clear – before buying land/building, always seek legal advice and avoid legal problems. Never take chances with land transactions.

Consult a Property Lawyer first.
