Real Estate

Real estate is all about choices with impact. Major interests, long-term commitments, political and social sensitivities that require a solid legal basis. Whether it concerns a housing project, the redevelopment of social or commercial real estate or the acquisition of a building or land: TK helps you to think through and record every step. We do this with a team of lawyers and notaries who oversee the entire playing field: from planning to delivery, from acquisition of ownership to operation.

Expertises For who and with who Experience Why TK The team

At TK, we combine legal depth with a keen eye for practice. Our specialists recognise risks, but think in terms of solutions and bring parties' ambitions together. In real estate transactions, we take care of the entire process: from declaration of intent, due diligence and negotiations to contract formation, delivery and agreements with the end user. We provide the right securities and conditions. Our notaries ensure a tight legal settlement with clear deeds.

Whether it is a project of ten homes or an area development with thousands of homes: TK also supervises the entire project development process. From acquisition and planning to licensing and issuance. We understand how land and development operations work, and how time, interest and legislation affect returns. Our lawyers and civil-law notaries bring structure to cooperation and contract formation, such as in public-private partnerships, anterior agreements or complex divisions into flat rights. By providing early legal guidance, we help avoid delays.

We are well informed about current developments, such as energy transition (energy-neutral construction, grid congestion, the Heat Act and the Energy Act) and the housing shortage (housing challenges and rent legislation). Through publications, events and cooperation with partners, we stay sharp and keep our clients up-to-date.

For who and with who we work

Our Real Estate sector team works for property developers, contractors, installers, (private) investors , housing associations, municipalities, educational and care institutions. We work closely with real estate advisers, brokers, appraisers and tax consultants. This ensures that we can respond quickly and that you always have access to the right expertise.
