In 2021, the commercial real estate market in Ukraine remains one of the best investment options in terms of return on risk. At the same time, investors often face hidden legal risks of real estate, which cannot be properly assessed at the investment stage. During the webinar, we tried to determine the minimum required amount of inspection of commercial real estate before buying and analyze on real cases the possible hidden legal risks associated with the purchase and how to avoid them.
During the event we discussed:
- The main types of real estate transactions:
- Purchase of real estate (sale from a legal entity, sale from an individual, sale from a non-resident)
- Purchase of corporate rights (i.e. a legal entity on the balance of which is a real estate object)
- How to make the transaction as safe as possible: types of inspections desirable for the buyer to do before closing the transaction
- Types of audits required in each type of transaction
- What are the consequences in case the audit is not conducted (or conducted improperly) based on real cases?
