Commercial Real Estate

Commercial real estate law covers a broad range of business activities. It governs apartment complexes, office buildings, retail centers, hotels and vacant property poised for development. A big part of commercial real estate law is focused on contracts, which tend to be quite lengthy and complex.

Commercial Real Estate Contingencies

Many commercial real estate contracts contain contingencies. These contingencies offer you protection by requiring specific performance of the conditions laid out in the contract. Common contingencies in commercial real estate contracts include a mortgage contingency, inspection contingency and another sale contingency. The mortgage contingency allows you to walk away from the deal if you cannot secure a mortgage. The inspection contingency specifies that the contract is valid only if the inspector’s report is positive. The other sale contingency specifies that the contract is contingent on the sale of another piece of real estate in order to finance the second. I can draft the best language to cover the conditions for execution of the contract and determine the right contingencies to add to your commercial building contract.
