Sale & Leaseback Constructions - Real Estate Law

Legal documentation governing sale and leaseback arrangements in real estate, both domestically and internationally.

These agreements legally define the rights and obligations of the seller (who becomes the lessee) and the buyer (who becomes the lessor), including sale price, lease terms, property use, and financial arrangements.
Our services protect both parties and minimize legal and financial risks in structured real estate transactions.

We prepare a tailored legal agreement adapted to:

  • The type, nature, and location of the property, domestically or internationally.
  • The contractual relationship between seller/lessee and buyer/lessor.
  • Any existing third-party rights, mortgages, easements, or leasehold interests.
  • Applicable law, including international provisions where relevant.
  • Registration requirements, notarial formalities, and lease documentation.

Scope of Documentation:

  • Parties & Property Identification
    Legally establishes the parties involved and clearly identifies the property subject to the sale and leaseback.

  • Sale Price & Payment Terms
    Determines the sale price, payment structure, deposits, guarantees, and any financial conditions relating to the sale.

  • Lease Terms & Obligations
    Specifies the lease period, rental payments, property use, maintenance obligations, and compliance with applicable regulations.

  • Conditions Precedent & Termination Clauses
    Defines conditions for the sale and leaseback to proceed and clauses allowing termination in case of non-performance or external circumstances.

  • Representations & Warranties
    Statements regarding property ownership, condition, zoning compliance, and absence of undisclosed encumbrances.
