I am building/remodeling my home. Do I still need a lawyer?
YES. An experienced real estate attorney can protect your rights and the rights of your property. An O.W.D real estate lawyer is trained in your home buying efforts. Don’t try to go it alone. We may know some things you never even thought of.
You’re not just buying a house
Real estate can be defined as lands, crops, and anything permanently affixed to the land, such as buildings and fences. Real estate also includes things normally thought of as personal property, which are permanently attached to the buildings, such as light fixtures and plumbing and heating fixtures. The term “real estate” is generally used interchangeably with the term “real property”.
At O.W.D, we pride ourselves on knowing all the ins and outs of real estate and real property law.
Buyer beware…
When buying a new home there are some things to look out for. An O.W.D lawyer will thoroughly go over everything you need to know. Call us now. In the meantime, you should consider the following when buying a home:
- What property is included in the sale of the home? Light fixtures, drapes/blinds, etc.
- Are the other homes in the neighborhood pleasing to the eye? Is the neighborhood quiet, friendly?
- Are there future development plans that will affect your purchase?
- Carefully review the inspection report – are there any questionable items on it?
- Consider real estate taxes. What are the current rates, etc?
Contact your O.W.D lawyer to discuss the above in detail.
