Purchasing Commercial Real Estate May Require an Extra Layer of Protection

The buying and selling of any type of real estate should always entail making sure that you’ve dotted all I’s and crossed all T’s. But when considering the purchase of a commercial property, the potential – and therefore, the potential exposures – that you can face may be much greater than those you face when simply purchasing a home or a condo.

Depending on the type of property that you’re buying, you could run into a plethora of various liens and title related issues. There may also be concerns with regard to zoning. In addition, as a commercial property buyer, you may or may not always be afforded the same mandatory disclosures that are required with residential property transactions.
