Our office at Ben Eliezer Arieh 12, Ramat Gan, serves a broad clientele of apartment owners, investors, contractors, and developers in real estate, from basic sale and purchase transactions to complex projects including Tama 38 renewal, vacate-and-build projects, and urban renewal. In every case, we assign a lawyer with in-depth knowledge of legal issues, property registry rights, appreciation tax, purchase tax, and tenant rights.

Why Choose a Real Estate Law Office?

A real estate transaction is not merely an agreement between two parties. It includes verification of property registry rights, examination of outstanding claims and appeals, tax review (appreciation tax, purchase tax, income tax), compliance with planning and building regulations, inspection of mandatory payments (property taxes, common area fees), and identification of legal risks that a non-legal professional might overlook. A real estate law office specializes in protecting your interests at every stage.

Legal Depth: Central Issues in Real Estate Law in Ramat Gan

Tabu, Tabu Extract and Rights Examination

The Tabu (government registration of property rights) is the fundamental document in every real estate transaction. A real estate law firm examines the current Tabu extract, identifies unsettled claims (such as mortgages, liens, third-party rights), and checks whether the property is free from encumbrances. In purchase transactions, this examination is critical — if a claim or third-party right is missed, the buyer may face a serious legal and financial problem years after the purchase.

Capital Gains Tax and Purchase Tax

Every property sale transaction in Israel involves calculating capital gains tax (tax on the property appreciation profit). Capital gains tax is calculated based on the difference between the original purchase price and the sale price, in accordance with rates updated by the Land Appreciation Tax Authority. Additionally, the buyer is liable for purchase tax (transaction fee) at a fixed rate by law. A real estate law firm calculates these taxes precisely, identifies possible exemptions or reliefs (for example, first residence, developed areas), and coordinates with the tax authorities to avoid future additions and interest.

TAMA 38 and Urban Renewal

TAMA 38 (Outline Plan No. 38) is a program of the Ministry of Construction to promote urban renewal in existing cities. It enables apartment owners in old buildings to renovate their homes, sometimes with temporary evacuation and return to a new apartment. The TAMA 38 process involves the consent of a majority of apartment owners, appointment of a contractor, examination of building plans, negotiation with the municipality, handling of tenants' rights, compensation for temporary loss of use, and the establishment of a new condominium. A real estate law firm expertly guides residents through this process, protects their rights, and ensures that agreements are fair and legal.

Condominium and Property Management

Every multi-family building requires the establishment of a condominium company (building management company) — a legal entity that manages common property (roof, external walls, stairs, electrical room, etc.). A real estate law firm assists in drafting bylaws for the condominium, examining apartment owners' rights, setting common expenses, and handling disputes between residents. In TAMA 38 projects, the establishment of a new condominium is a vital legal step.

Parcellation and Family Land Division

When a family with shared land wishes to divide the property among heirs or partners, a legal procedure of parcellation is required. This procedure involves proving rights, property valuation, examining building plans, and obtaining approval from the municipality. A real estate law firm manages all stages, ensuring that the division is fair and includes examination of capital gains tax and other taxes.

Comparison: Private Real Estate Attorney vs. Original Experience

Choosing a real estate law firm is a choice between a one-dimensional solution and comprehensive legal counsel. A boutique firm like Mandelbaum, Gor, Witzman-Gor and Partners offers representation in tort law (representation of claimants only), civil-commercial law and litigation — meaning if a real estate transaction turns into a legal dispute, for example a claim against a contractor for construction defects or a dispute between tenants, we have in-house personnel to handle the litigation. This is completely different from referring to a different attorney or firm at the dispute stage.

Comparative Table: A Typical Real Estate Transaction

The table demonstrates that a real estate transaction is a multi-stage process, and each stage requires specific legal expertise. A real estate law firm specializing in this field handles every stage and prevents legal issues that could be costly and prolonged.
