What is project development and what role does the notary play?
Project development involves the planning, realization and sale of real estate projects, often with multiple parties such as developers, investors, contractors and buyers. In every phase of this process, a legally solid foundation is essential. This is where the role of the notary comes into play.
The notary ensures the legal accuracy of all agreements and documents, such as:
- cooperation agreements between developers;
- transfers of land and building rights;
- deeds of division for apartment complexes;
- mortgage deeds and other financing issues;
- purchase and sale documents for investors and individuals.
At Westvaer, we understand that no project is the same. Each trajectory requires customized solutions tailored to your specific goals.
