What Legal Review Can Address Before Settlement
We assist with residential and commercial property transactions in Pennsylvania and New Jersey. The appropriate review depends on the property, financing, intended use, agreement terms, and issues discovered before settlement.
Title and Deed Issues: Evaluating ownership questions, liens and easements, restrictions, deed language, and potential recording concerns.
Property Disclosures: Examining disclosure concerns and contractual obligations that may affect the buyer or seller.
Zoning and Land Use: Assessing restrictions relevant to a proposed change in use, construction project, subdivision, redevelopment, or commercial operation.
Settlement Documents: Reviewing deed documents, prorations, lender requirements, real estate transfer tax materials, and final paperwork as applicable.
If an issue develops into a conflict, we can assist with the resulting real estate dispute. Transactional representation focuses on reviewing and completing the deal, while litigation addresses disagreements that require a different legal strategy.

Chester Zoning Considerations During Due Diligence
The City of Chester Planning and Zoning Department administers the city’s zoning and subdivision or land-development ordinances. Zoning approval may be relevant to a change in property use, creation of a lot, alteration of lot lines, construction, demolition, or certain site alterations.
A buyer planning redevelopment or a commercial operation may need to examine the property’s zoning district, permitted uses, development restrictions, and required approvals. Sellers may need to address zoning information if the current use, prior alterations, or proposed use is material to the sale.
These questions are property-specific. Municipal requirements, existing approvals, deed restrictions, and the planned project can determine which zoning or permit issues warrant attention during due diligence.
From Agreement Review to Settlement Preparation
Our realtor lawyers can enter the transaction before the agreement is signed or after the parties identify a concern. The scope of our work reflects the documents, property, financing, intended use, and issues involved.
Legal work during a transaction can include:
Initial Review: Examining the agreement of sale, transaction structure, deadlines, contingencies, and intended property use.
Due Diligence: Reviewing available title materials, disclosures, inspection findings, zoning information, and financing conditions.
Issue Resolution: Addressing title findings, contract concerns, proposed revisions, and responses from the other parties.
The transaction may change as title, inspection, financing, or zoning questions emerge. Our attorneys remain directly involved, explain the legal implications, and discuss practical options for moving forward.
