An apartment sale contract should determine not only the price and date of delivery, but also the status of rights, payment schedule, safety, taxes, declarations and remedies in the event of a breach. Before signing the contract should check that the contract corresponds to the specific property, the registration documents and the ability of the parties to complete the transaction.
In selling an apartment,Legal support in sale transactions Apartments, land and agricultural holdingsDesigned to make sure the agreement doesn't leave any holes that are discovered only after the money has been passed.
The contract should accurately identify the parties and the property: a block number, plot, subdivision if there is, address, snaps, parking, warehouse and other rights. If the seller is not registered as an owner in Israeli Land Registry, the contract should explain the origin of the right and what documents are required to complete the registration.
At this stage, general description such as "four-room apartment" is not satisfied. The wording of Israeli Land Registry, approval of rights, mortgage company documents, mortgages, foreclosures and warning notes can change the structure of the transaction and the legal risk before signing.
The payment appendix is one of the most sensitive parts of a sales contract. It should be suitable for the buyer's mortgage, the seller's existing mortgage, the date of the apartment's eviction, and the documents that need to be received on the way.
For example, a seller who buys another apartment at the same time may be harmed if the buyer is late in one payment. On the other hand, a buyer does not need to transfer the full amount of the return before receiving collateral and documents that allow for the completion of a transaction.
A good selling contract includes clear statements by the seller about the status of rights, the status of planning, uses of the apartment, building irregularities, dampness, debts, renters, and a known house and claims committee. The statements do not replace pre-sale or buyer checks, but they create a liability basis if a material problem is discovered.
If there is a known problem, it is usually best to formulate it explicitly and not leave it for oral conversation. Proper disclosure can prevent a claim of deception after signing.
The contract should determine who bears in the land appreciation tax, purchase tax, levy betterment, fees, commission payments, arnona and other duties until the date of delivery. In addition, it is necessary to determine which certificates the seller must invent so that the buyer can register the rights in his name.
In some cases, money should be left in trust until tax approvals are received from the local authority and the tax authority. Without such a mechanism, the buyer may be left with an apartment that is paid almost in full but cannot be registered.
The date of delivery should be related to both payment and actual evacuation. It is worth determining what was delivered with the apartment, in what situation, what happens if objects are left or rented, and how the delivery is recorded.
The contract should also include a breach mechanism: late payment, late delivery, non-invention of permits, breach of declaration or unjustified cancellation. Agreed compensation can help, but it should be reasonable and adjusted to the transaction rather than a number copied from another contract.
A generic sales contract does not know if the apartment is registered in a Israeli Land Registry, mortgage company or in Israel Land Authority (ILA). It also does not know if there is a mortgage, building exception, unregistered inheritance, tenant in a property or corresponding transaction that depends on payment.
Before signing, you should also completePreliminary Tests in a Real Estate Deal, to ensure that the contract reflects the legal and planning situation of the property and not just the commercial agreement between the parties.
If the documents are not filled in, it is best to stop before signing. In most sales transactions it is easier to fix a draft before committing than to manage a crisis after the parties have already signed.

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!
