Advice in the investment process!

It is if paramount importance to consult an independent lawyer at the first steps of the investment process. It is known that the real estate brokers advertise the quality of their legal services that are often (but not always) included in their fees.

Reason 1. You need an independent and qualified advice

The reason is that you need to have a solicitor (barrister) who will defend your owns interests and will offer you the solution tailored specially for you. Sometimes the risks of the investment are so obvious that the lawyer would recommend not to proceed with any further payments.

Advice: ask if the lawyer is admitted to the bar or if it is a solicitor if he has passed the state legal examination.

Reason 2. Professional analysis

You need someone who will keep a vigilant eye on the documents that you would sign.
It may strange to happen but I have a real story involving English citizens who have signed a contract with a very well established company. The legal analysis showed that the preliminary contract was not signed by the seller, but the money has been paid.
