Every right, secured.

From a first apartment to an income-producing project — a full real estate practice for individuals, families, developers, and institutions. The same standard on a single home and on an entire project.

The deal of a lifetime — in safe hands.

More

Amending the condominium order

A roof, garden or storage room not yet attached to your apartment? We correct the registration order and attach them to your unit — before those building rights are worth serious money.

More
Completing the picture

Settling what comes next.

Alongside the deal itself, we prepare the documents that decide what happens to the property later: a durable power of attorney, a health-care power of attorney, a will, and a guardian nomination — for our clients, in one file.

Gifts, family transfers, and intergenerational planning — the full page.

Durable power of attorney

You decide in advance, in a confidential document you can update, who acts for you and what they may sell, mortgage, or lease — not a guardian a court appoints later, in a public proceeding, when the choice is no longer yours.

The full POA page

A will

Most wills say who. One with an apartment in it must also say how: rights, shares, the mortgage, who keeps the right to live there — so the Land Registry can record it exactly as written.

02Buyer groups

A group has power.
We know how to put it to work.

A lone buyer gets the price list. A group gets terms. We represent buyer groups and convert collective power into commercial and legal terms no individual buyer can get:

Price

Wholesale entry — below the price list.

Payment terms

Capital-efficient structures such as 20/80 — your money stays with you until delivery.

Specifications

An upgraded technical spec and finish levels — as a group condition, not an add-on.

Security

Sale Law guarantees and legal protections — for every member of the group.

Deal sourcing

Access to off-market opportunities — before they reach the open market.

Every buyer, represented

Each member receives full legal counsel on their own transaction: the contract, the rider, and the payments.

03Olim & overseas buyers

Buy in Israel before you land.

Most of a first purchase in Israel happens while you're still abroad: due diligence, negotiation, tax, signatures. We run all of it from here; you approve every material document in plain English — and it ends at Israel's Land Registry (Tabu), with title in your name.

  • Power of attorney, done rightA notarized power of attorney the registry will accept: Israeli consulate or local notary with apostille, specific powers limited to this transaction.
  • Approve in English firstThe contract is signed in Hebrew — the registry's language. Every material document reaches you first as a plain-English summary you approve before anyone signs.
  • Money moves only when it's securedNew construction: voucher payments into the project account with a Sale Law guarantee; resale: escrow and a caution note first.
  • Oleh status, priced inOleh purchase-tax brackets run from a year before aliyah to seven years after. The timing and which spouse buys are settled before signing.

The olim page lays out the full route: status, tax, financing, remote signing, registration. First conversations happen in English, at hours that work for you.

A term worth knowing

The caution note — the small protection that saves big deals.

A caution note is a registration in the land registry (Tabu), under sections 126–127 of the Land Law, recording that the owner has undertaken to transact in the property — or to refrain from doing so.

What it does: it warns any third party that a prior undertaking exists. The seller cannot "sell twice," mortgage or encumber the property behind your back in the sensitive window between signing and registration.

What it is not: it does not transfer ownership — it is a protective flag. If anyone tries to register a conflicting right, the note blocks them.

In practice: it is the cheapest, fastest protection a buyer registers immediately after signing — and we make sure it is registered correctly, on time, and ultimately replaced by registration of ownership itself.

06For owners of older buildings

Your old apartment carries rights worth money.

An urban-renewal project in your building starts from an asset already yours — the land and the building rights on it. Those rights generate the project's profit, and the profit builds your consideration: the new apartment, the guarantees, rent through construction. And on your side it takes very little — reach out, and we lead the process with you from first organizing to keys.

Where the payoff comes from

The more the local planning committee can approve, the larger the profit — and the more it can pay for. A ceiling is not an approval, and there's a betterment levy along the way — a starting point for negotiation, not a promised result.

Locked in before construction

The new apartment, the guarantees, the rent, and the schedule are all written into the contract while your consent is still what the project needs. That's where your bargaining power peaks.

One duty of loyalty — to you

That's how the mechanism is built: the owners' attorney is funded by the developer and represents only you — vetting bids, running the negotiation, holding the guarantees in trust.

The guarantees, the tracks, the mechanisms drawn from signed agreements — it's all on the urban-renewal page. A conversation about your building takes one message.

Questions, answered

What we're asked before a deal.

What does a real estate lawyer do that the agent doesn't?

The agent brings the parties together; the lawyer protects you. Legal and planning due diligence, contract negotiation, security, taxation, registration — the layer that turns a good deal into a safe one.

What checks come before buying an apartment?

Title and rights (Tabu / housing company / ILA), liens and attachments, planning status and permits, building violations, and the seller's identity — before signing a single line.

Buying from a developer — what should we insist on?

Sale Law guarantees on every payment, a binding technical specification, a sound payment schedule, late-delivery mechanisms, and a binding deadline by which the developer registers the condominium and transfers title to your name. Exactly our field.

What is a gift transaction within the family?

A no-consideration transfer — a central tool in intergenerational planning. Done right, legally, and tax-wise, it saves a great deal; done wrong, it creates needless liabilities. (General information, not tax advice.)

What's the advantage of a buyer group?

Power. An organized group gets price, payment terms, specifications, and security no individual buyer gets — and we represent both the group as a whole and each buyer in their own transaction.
