Buying an apartment, selling land, leasing commercial premises or investing in construction can involve several legal and administrative steps. The Law Office of Emir Gazić advises local and international clients on property transactions, ownership and construction-related legal matters in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Property transactions and ownership
Before signing an agreement, it is important to check registered ownership, mortgages and other encumbrances, the legal status of the property and whether the records match the proposed transaction. Legal assistance may include contract review and drafting, negotiations and representation in related procedures.
- Sale, purchase and lease agreements for residential and commercial property
- Land-register and cadastral checks, title issues and encumbrances
- Mortgages, easements and other rights affecting land or buildings
- Registration of ownership and proceedings before the competent authorities
- Co-ownership, division of property, boundary and possession disputes
- Property acquisition questions affecting foreign individuals and companies
Construction and development matters
Development projects may require review of planning documents, building approvals and agreements between owners, investors and contractors. The office can advise on contractual responsibilities, administrative procedures and disputes connected with a construction project. Technical surveys and design work remain the responsibility of qualified specialists.
Property and construction disputes
Disputes may involve non-performance of an agreement, construction delays, alleged defects, possession or competing ownership claims. Depending on the case, options may include negotiation, settlement or proceedings before the competent court.
International buyers and investors
Foreign individuals and businesses should have the rules relevant to their proposed acquisition checked before committing to a transaction. Requirements may depend on location, the buyer’s status and the property involved. A land-register extract, draft agreement and available property documents are useful starting materials.
