Fast & comprehensive due diligence
Real estate is about money and risk. We manage the risk.
Real estate transactions are among the most legally exposed operations in the business world. Defective title, undisclosed easements, unknown encumbrances, urban planning issues, unbalanced lease agreements — all can transform a promising investment into costly litigation.
Boian, Gaina & Associates SPARL provides integrated legal support for real estate transactions — from the first term sheet negotiation through to land registry registration. Cătălin Gaina, founding partner, has direct experience in due diligence and M&A transactions across real estate, energy, retail, and oil & gas sectors.
We work with institutional investors, local and international developers, as well as entrepreneurs acquiring their first significant real estate asset. Every client receives the same attention to detail.

What we cover
Real estate transactions
We advise on all types of real estate transactions — acquisitions, disposals, exchanges, contributions in kind. We draft and negotiate all transaction documents: preliminary agreements, sale-purchase agreements, transfer deeds. We coordinate notarial procedures and land registry registrations.
Real estate due diligence
We conduct comprehensive legal due diligence of real estate assets: title verification, identification of encumbrances and mortgages, urban planning and building restriction analysis, technical documentation review, pending litigation check. We deliver a clear report with identified risks and mitigation recommendations.
Leasing & tenancy agreements
We negotiate and draft commercial lease agreements for office, retail, industrial, and logistics premises. We have experience in renegotiations, expansions, lease assignments, break options, and portfolio restructurings. We represent both landlords and tenants.
Development & regulatory
We support developers in obtaining all necessary documentation for real estate projects: endorsements, building permits, PUZ/PUD amendments. We represent clients before local authorities and other competent institutions throughout the development process.
Formalities & representation
We represent clients before notaries, financing banks, ANCPI, local authorities, and other relevant institutions. We coordinate closing activities and post-transaction registrations, ensuring everything is finalized correctly and within agreed timelines.
Real estate disputes
Where disputes arise — regarding title, contracts, boundaries, or permits — we provide representation in court or arbitral proceedings. We have experience in eviction, act nullity, retrocession, and land registry disputes.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Q
How long does a real estate due diligence take?
It depends on the complexity of the asset and documentation availability. For a standard asset — 5-10 business days. For a portfolio or complex development project — 3-4 weeks. We can deliver preliminary red flag reports within 2-3 days for urgent transactions.
- Q
What issues does real estate due diligence most commonly uncover?
Most frequent findings: undischarged mortgages, forgotten land registry encumbrances, area discrepancies versus cadastral records, retrocession or title disputes, urban planning non-compliance (unauthorized or expired-permit constructions), undisclosed disadvantageous lease clauses.
- Q
Do you handle office or industrial projects, not just residential?
Yes. We work primarily with commercial assets — offices, industrial premises, logistics, retail, and land. We have specific experience in lease agreement negotiations for large office and industrial park projects.
- Q
Do you assist with bank financing of the transaction?
Yes. We coordinate with financing banks throughout the transaction — from credit documents to mortgage creation, ensuring that legal conditions are met at the time of drawdowns.
