Dream big, we’ve got your back!
Our client Jussara Piacentini came to us because she was interested in acquiring a property on the coast of Rio Grande do Norte. As she told us, Jussara has lived in England for many years and having a beach house in the Northeast to escape the harsh winters of Europe with Mick, her partner, was a dream of the couple.
Our mission was to help Jussara and Mick make this dream come true.
Acquiring a property in Brazil is something that is in the plans of many Brazilians living abroad and can be a great investment. But like any business, the Brazilian real estate market has its intricacies and it is important to have professional support when closing the deal.
Mission given, mission accomplished!
After discarding several options that did not meet the legal requirements necessary to provide legal certainty to the acquisition, Jussara and Mick were able to buy their beach house in the beautiful Barra do Cunhaú, in the municipality of Canguaretama on the coast of Rio Grande do Norte.
And of course, we also went to Barra do Cunhaú to have a coffee with Jussara and Mick on a beautiful summer afternoon. Because that’s what it’s about, creating ties that transcend the cold contract for the provision of legal services. Humanizing relationships without ever leaving aside the professionalism with which we treat each of our clients.
With the support of our network of partners, we at HSO ADVOGADOS & CONSULTORES were present alongside Jussara and Mick during all stages of the purchase and sale operation:
– Documentation analysis – Thorough scrutiny of all documents and certificates is essential to ensure the smoothness of the business and peace of mind in the long term.
– Tax regularization of the property – real estate in Brazil usually has tax liabilities as they say in legalese, in other words, it is necessary to ensure that the property does not carry with it IPTU debts or other tax obligations. We work with the Canguaretama Tax Department to ensure the declaration of the statute of limitations of the old debt and the payment by the owner of the amount due before authorizing our client to sign the purchase and sale agreement.
– Intermediation of negotiations with the owners – in this case it was necessary to ensure that the owners provided us with all the documentation and certificates to avoid eviction, that is, that the property is claimed by a creditor of the owners.
– Acting with the Real Estate Registry Office to grant powers of attorney for the representation of the client residing in England, drawing up the deed and registration.
You’re all set! Jussara and Mick were free to pack their bags and head northeast to enjoy life in their seaside home.
Thank you Jussara and Mick for giving us the opportunity to do better with each new mission!
Count on us!
