Residential Transactions

The Value of an Experienced Real Estate Lawyer

The real estate market in Metro Vancouver is constantly evolving, so having the expertise of an experienced local real estate lawyer will help make your purchase or sale transaction go as smoothly as possible.

When Winright Law was founded, our core service offering revolved around the expertise of our real estate lawyers and conveyancing team.

Although we have since expanded into many other business areas, we still pride ourselves on our experienced legal team’s ability to provide our real estate clients with peace of mind.

At Winright Law, our real estate litigation lawyers in Vancouver represent buyers, sellers, investors, and developers in a wide range of commercial real estate disputes. We work to protect your interests whether you are seeking to enforce a contract, recover losses from a misrepresentation, or resolve a real estate contract dispute that has stalled a transaction.

Vancouver real estate litigation matters can be complex, involving overlapping layers of contract law, land title legislation, and equitable remedies.

Keeping You Informed

Our real estate lawyers will keep you up-to-date and well-informed on important factors in real estate law.

These factors may range from small formalities to large considerations such as the tax imposed on foreign buyers within the Metro Vancouver market.

Our lawyers understand the local real estate market, and know what to look for—so that you don’t have to.

The Benefits of Working with a Real Estate Lawyer

Should any unexpected issues occur during the purchase or sale of a property, our background in real estate litigation will provide you with the tools to resolve them.

Whereas a notary cannot take legal action in the event of an issue, our law firm can help you deal with:

• Anticipatory Breaches
• Misrepresentations
• Failures to complete by agreed-upon completion dates
• Other complications that might arise

If you are purchasing an income property, we can also help you avoid residential tenancy issues.

Again, the decision to move or purchase a new property can be one of the biggest that you will ever make, so finding the right real estate lawyer in Vancouver matters.

After-Hours Real Estate Law Meetings

There is a lot to take care of when it comes to the purchase or sale of real estate. We understand this, and know that you will have many other things to take care of during this time.

For this reason, we offer our clients the convenience of booking “after hours” appointments with our real estate lawyers if they are unable to meet during regular office hours.

For only a small additional fee, this option will provide you with the comfort of meeting at a time that best fits your schedule.

Contact us today and let our team of experienced real estate lawyers help you with your real estate transaction.
