How we help
Property is often the largest asset an individual or company owns, and a defect in a title deed or contract can freeze its value for years. We handle each real estate file in clear stages.
- Collecting documents: the title deed, plans, contracts and previous correspondence.
- Legal examination to identify the reason for a suspension or defect and the authority competent to resolve it.
- Filing applications with the competent authorities or negotiating with the other parties.
- Litigation where needed, through to judgment and enforcement.
- Reviewing off-plan purchase contracts: project licensing, developer obligations, delivery dates, payment schedule, and termination and compensation terms.
Key laws include the Real Estate Registration Law, the Off-Plan Sale and Lease Law, the Real Estate Brokerage Law, the Real Estate Finance and Registered Mortgage Laws, the Civil Transactions Law for contracts, and the Real Estate Transaction Tax rules. In Riyadh, specific rules on landlord-tenant relations, including a rent freeze for a set period, must be considered when drafting leases.
Who we serve
- Owners facing suspended, cancelled or outdated title deeds.
- Heirs wishing to transfer property registered in the name of a deceased relative.
- Developers selling or leasing off-plan projects.
- Investors and financiers in mortgages and real estate funds.
- Parties to disputes over overlapping deeds or encroachments.
For a first consultation, bring the deed or deeds in question and any overlapping neighbouring deeds, related contracts, plans and official letters, the heirs’ deed and powers of attorney if the property is part of an estate, and any prior correspondence or rulings. Complete documents allow a more accurate diagnosis and a clearer estimate of the likely path and timeline.
Frequently asked questions
Why is a title deed suspended?
Reasons include overlap with other deeds, an objection or regulatory note, or the need to update the deed’s data. The solution starts with identifying the exact reason from the competent authority.
What is the benefit of real estate registration?
Registration links rights to the property itself in a unified register, strengthening the reliability of ownership and reducing disputes over boundaries and overlaps.
How is a deceased person’s property transferred to the heirs?
After the heirs are identified, the property is transferred into their names or sold and the proceeds divided by agreement. If agreement is not possible, the court can order division.
