Q: Is a contract of sale agreed in the UK for a property in Pakistan valid in Pakistan?
I am asking this for a friend, who asked me. I work in conveyancing and wasn't aware enough of this situation to answer.
They are selling a property in Pakistan. They are living, currently, in the UK. They buyer that they have found, is also living in the UK. They have agreed a price and are currently in the process of agreeing a contract for the sale.
If the contract is agreed and made for the sale of the property, will the contract stand in Pakistan?
A: International real estate closings happen all the time. The controlling law is the place where the real estate is located. Contact a Pakistani real estate lawyer or broker.
