Legal advice for investors, businesses and individuals acquiring, using, transferring or protecting property interests in Vietnam.
Clarity before a property commitment.
ANT Lawyers’ real estate lawyers in Vietnam advise on property transactions, land use and lease arrangements, ownership questions, inheritance and real estate disputes.
The right property still needs the right legal arrangements. The buyer or tenant needs to understand the rights being offered, the authority of the other party, the documents available and the conditions attached to the transaction.
We help clients review those questions before signing or paying, and assist when delays, title issues or disagreements put a property interest at risk.
How we can help
Property due diligence
Review of title and project documents, seller authority, existing interests and the proposed transaction. We help identify missing information and legal issues that may affect acquisition, use or transfer.

Advice on eligibility and restrictions relevant to a proposed property purchase by a foreign individual or business. We assess the intended buyer, property and ownership structure in the context of the client’s plans.

Drafting and review of deposit, sale and transfer agreements. We consider payment milestones, completion conditions, handover, registration responsibilities and the remedies available if the transaction does not proceed as agreed.
Leases and business premises
Advice on commercial and residential lease agreements, including permitted use, term, deposits, repairs and termination. We help businesses assess whether the legal arrangements support their planned use of the premises.
