Course objectives

The sale of real estate is one of the most common legal operations, both investment and consumer. In the course, the questions that arise from the start were addressed, first: on the occasion of the deposit, the preliminary deals between buyer and seller, and intermediation. The requirements of the contract were also analyzed (the price and the guarantee of its payment, the resolution clause, the thing: real estate and the lack of conformity) as well as the reorganization and the building actions, or the breach of the contract “aliud pro alio ”, And vices in construction, in addition to the modification of the contract due to unforeseen circumstances, with special reference to the regulation of Book VI of the Civil Code of Catalonia.

Likewise, one of the most frequent legal figures in our real estate market was discussed, which are the sale of rented housing and rent with purchase option. And finally, the tax aspects of real estate law are addressed, which by themselves can condition many aspects of an operation. Ultimately, Marc Ciutat was able to do his bit to offer lawyers the precise tools to successfully advise their clients on these matters, regarding prior business advice, and litigation that may arise from the legal business.
