Staten Island Real Estate Lawyers

A poorly negotiated or drafted lease agreement or contract for sale of either commercial or residential property can lead to years of frustration.  The Staten Island real estate attorneys at the Katz Law Offices, are experienced commercial and residential real estate lawyers.  We have handled numerous real estate transactions, helping clients draft contracts for sale, review and negotiate lease agreements, review title for marketability, and representing them during the closing process.  Our office is located directly across the street from the Staten Island ferry, making it easily accessible for people from Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, and the Bronx. 

Real estate transactions are fairly complex.  There are many issues that must be considered when buying or selling real estate: 

• Who is responsible for cleaning up environmental hazards on the property? 
• How is the property zoned and what are other land use restrictions?
• Is the title to the property marketable? 
• Are there taxes and special assessments placed on the property? 
• How do you comply with federal or state tax laws relating the transfer of real property?

Commercial Property Leasing

When it comes to leasing commercial property, many businesses will have specific needs that are not specified in a standardized lease agreement.  For instance:

• Under what circumstances can the landlord enter the leased premises? 
• What are the tenant’s renewal rights at the end of the lease term? 
• Who is responsible for third party injuries on the property? 
• Who is responsible for carrying insurance on the property and how much insurance is sufficient? 

An experienced New York real estate attorney can advise you on all these issues and help you negotiate and draft a lease agreement or contract for sale that will protect your rights and interests.
