Real Estate Legal Services

Real Estate Due Diligence in Poland

We conduct an analysis and legal verification of real estate, including buildings, land, commercial properties, and industrial properties. We rectify their legal status and represent clients in legal disputes.

As part of our real estate due diligence service, we will determine for you:

• The legal status of the property
• Opportunities and risks associated with the investment
• Recommendations and information regarding spatial planning, encumbrances, construction conditions, property titles (e.g., mortgages), risks related to leases, rentals, or contracts, claims from third parties, property taxes, and fees.

In addition to these services, we offer various standard and non-standard services in the field of real estate law in Poland.

Our lawyers provide advice on construction contracts, real estate matters, construction projects, and their legal foundations.

We aim to provide comprehensive services at RPMS, which is why our team consists of not only lawyers and legal advisors but also notaries, tax consultants, property managers, licensed intermediaries, and surveyors. This allows us to offer services that address the specific requirements of the construction industry and the complexities associated with construction works.

Investment Planning: Compliance with Regulations and Zoning Conditions

RPMS Law Firm provides assistance in matters related to construction law. This offer is primarily aimed at private and public investors, as well as those who encounter difficulties in obtaining construction permits.

Our specialists guide clients through the entire investment process, including zoning conditions and local development plans. According to Polish real estate law, the construction of any property begins with selecting a design that complies with local zoning or construction conditions.

Within these services, we can assist you with:

• Obtaining zoning conditions (conceptual design, utilities, environmental decisions, etc.)
• Filing complaints about administrative inaction
• Procedures for changing local zoning and land development plans
• Mediation between parties
• Surveying and cartography matters based on real estate law
• Compensation claims related to the implementation of local zoning and development plans

Obtaining Building Permits

A building permit is an administrative decision that allows construction to take place. This document specifies the conditions that must be met to legally carry out a construction project. In Polish law, it plays a crucial role. Without the appropriate permit, you risk being ordered to demolish the structure, even if it is already completed.

Interestingly, Polish law also accommodates construction works that do not require such a permit. Nevertheless, they must still be reported to the relevant authority.

By using our law firm’s services, you don’t need to delve into complex regulations. A real estate lawyer will provide support in:

• The entire process of obtaining a building permit or an occupancy permit, as well as other construction process documents (some of which can be obtained within 24 hours)
• Construction process matters (project execution, disputes arising from agreements with investors, developers, designers, and contractors, legal support for construction work, contract execution), as well as disputes in this regard

Additionally, we provide advice and conduct an analysis of the entire documentation (primarily focused on examining contracts in terms of essential order conditions within public procurement).
