Real Estate Lawyer

Business and corporate law services

Real estate transactions involve far more than signing a sale deed. Property law covers acquisition, title verification, development approvals, lease structuring, regulatory compliance and dispute resolution.

Whether you are buying, selling, developing or leasing property, legal oversight is essential at every stage of the property lifecycle. From title examination to final transfer, each stage presents legal and regulatory risks that require structured handling.

At Lawspicious, we provide end-to-end real estate legal services in Kolkata for individuals, developers, investors and commercial entities.

Property Due Diligence & Title Verification

Due diligence determines whether a property is legally safe to purchase and at what level of risk.

Proper due diligence includes:

  • Title verification and chain review
  • Encumbrance certificate examination
  • Possession status verification
  • Municipal and regulatory approval checks
  • Land use and zoning compliance

Every property carries some risk. The legal question is whether those risks are acceptable or fundamental deal-breakers. A minor documentation gap may be manageable. A possession dispute or regulatory violation may not be.


Builder-Buyer Agreements & Residential Transactions

Builder agreements are usually drafted in favour of developers. Buyers often sign without negotiating key protections.

Critical clauses that require review include:

  • Possession timelines and delay penalties
  • Construction specifications
  • Force majeure definitions
  • Refund and cancellation rights
  • Dispute resolution mechanisms

Strategic negotiation focuses on realistic improvements rather than fighting unwinnable clauses. Structured contract drafting reduces post-possession disputes.

Land Acquisition for Development Projects

Land purchase for development requires more than title clearance. Development feasibility must be assessed before acquisition.

Key considerations include:

  • Zoning and land use restrictions
  • Environmental clearances
  • Building plan approvals
  • Height restrictions and airport regulations
  • Access road and infrastructure feasibility

Land with clear title but no development approval may have limited commercial value. Proper legal evaluation prevents costly investment mistakes.

Joint Development Agreements (JDA)

Joint Development Agreements create structured partnerships between landowners and developers. Landowners contribute land. Developers contribute construction investment and expertise.

Well-drafted JDAs clearly define:

  • Revenue or area-sharing formula
  • Construction timelines
  • Approval responsibilities
  • Quality control standards
  • Dispute resolution mechanisms

Vague JDAs frequently lead to litigation over area allocation, construction quality or delay claims. Precision drafting reduces conflict risk.


Commercial Real Estate & Lease Agreements

Commercial real estate differs significantly from residential property transactions. Commercial leases involve business considerations beyond simple occupation.

Important clauses include:

  • Rent escalation structure
  • Maintenance obligations
  • Permitted business use
  • Tenant improvements
  • Subletting and assignment rights

Commercial lease structuring must align with business objectives and regulatory requirements.


Real Estate Litigation & Dispute Resolution

When transactions fail or disputes arise, structured legal action becomes necessary. Real estate disputes may involve:

  • Title conflicts
  • Possession disputes
  • Builder delay or non-delivery
  • Advance payment recovery
  • Lease termination disputes

Some disputes require civil suits. Others are better handled through consumer forums or structured settlement.
