When should I talk to a real estate attorney in Old Lyme?

Buying a home is expensive, it's easy to wonder if you need a real estate attorney, the fact is you can't afford not to. A real estate attorney protects your investment and ensures you get what you bargained for. Selling a home is also an enormous decision, and requires a lawyer who can prevent you from loosing money, or dealing with many problems during a sale. For example, check out one of our Waterford roofing company clients, BP Builders.

Buyers should have a real estate lawyer in Old Lyme to answer:

  • If the property has been altered or there has been an addition to the property, was it done lawfully?
  • If the buyer has plans to change the property, may what is planned for the property be done lawfully?
  • What happens if a buyer has an engineer or architect inspect the property and termites, asbestos, radon, or lead-based paint is found?
  • What if the property is found to contain hazardous waste?
  • What are the legal consequences if the closing does not take place, and what happens to the down payment? This question raises related questions: Will the down payment be held in escrow by a lawyer in accordance with appropriately worded escrow instructions? How is payment to be made? Is the closing appropriately conditioned upon the buyer obtaining financing?
