Purchasing Residential Property in Israel
End-to-end legal guidance for international clients purchasing property in Israel, covering due diligence, contracts, tax structuring, fund transfers, and registration.
Buying property in Israel is different from most other countries and often requires quick, well-informed decisions. Our firm focuses on representing international clients and guiding them through the process from start to completion in a clear, structured, and efficient manner.
We advise on all key aspects of the transaction, including financing, taxation, planning considerations, and the appropriate structure for the acquisition — whether personal, through a trust, or for family members. We also conduct due diligence and coordinate, where required, professional reviews such as appraisals and engineering inspections.
Where appropriate, we establish a separate, specific escrow account for the transaction, ensuring that funds are securely managed from the outset. We handle the drafting and negotiation of agreements and provide solutions for remote execution of documents, including powers of attorney and notarial documents.
Following execution, we assist with the transfer of funds between international and Israeli accounts and coordinate with financial institutions and other professionals involved in the transaction, including mortgage advisors.
We accompany our clients through to proper registration with the relevant authority and until possession is received, and assist, where required, with related agreements involving architects, designers, and property management companies.
Beyond the transaction, we work together with our clients’ advisors abroad to structure intergenerational arrangements, including wills, trust structures, and related agreements.
Our approach is to provide a coordinated, one-stop solution, combining experience, efficiency, and clear guidance — so that you can realize your dream of purchasing a home in Israel.
