Step 1: Check the Rights Status

Before publishing the agricultural holding for sale, the status of the rights must be checked with the ILA, whether there are building exceptions and what the terms of the contract are.

Step 2: Proper pricing of the agricultural holding

Proper pricing includes understanding the value of land, building rights, future potential and legal status.

Step 3: Finding a suitable buyer

Not every buyer can purchase an agricultural holding. Sometimes it is necessary to meet the conditions of the cooperative association.

Step 4: Confirm the Cooperative Association

The Association examines the buyer and can refuse his acceptance, which may delay the transaction.

Step 5: Treatment with RIMI

After the approval of the Association, the procedure must be completed in front of the Israel Land Authority and a consent fee must be paid.

Step 6: Taxation and Costs

Land Appreciation Taxes, Betterment levies and consent fees should be taken into account.

It is often said that lawyers are exploitative and unfair people. This office came to erase this stigma. The entire staff there is lovely, and they do their job faithfully. In my case, I dealt with Attorney Hussam Armali, and I must say that I have never met such an honest, decent, and goal-oriented person. Thank you very much from the bottom of my heart 🙏

I contacted Karen just to figure out whether it was worth selling a piece of land we inherited or keeping it. She sat down with me and explained the whole picture – rights, taxation, what can be done in the future. She didn’t try to push in a certain direction, and that was the most important thing to me.

Karin Amsalem, a professional and thorough attorney of the highest level! Represented us in the process of selling a plot of land that we won in a tender. This is a complex process that includes registering lease rights in the Land Registry, payments to the Land Registry such as consent fees, refunding subsidies for housing and construction, as well as handling the appreciation tax, which includes many expenses. Karin managed the entire process with professionalism, accuracy and attention to detail, while fully protecting our interests as sellers. Throughout the entire process, we felt that we had someone to trust. Highly recommend her!
