  • Apartment in Jurmala and residence permit in Europe

    Our client decided to get a residence permit in Latvia to be always able to freely travel within the European Union.
    • As the object of the required investment the client chose real estate. According to the criteria outlined by the client, we picked out an excellent apartment in Jurmala and completed the necessary documents to obtain a residence permit.

    • Two months after the first discussion of this issue with us, the client and his family have received the desired status. Now they are free to travel around Europe and always have the opportunity to stay in their apartment in the beautiful resort town on the Baltic coast.

  • Property in Nice

    Our client bought the property in Nice. Nice is an expensive city, where it’s not so easy to buy property, so you must comply with the terms and conditions of the sales agreement, including those relating to payment procedures, and adhere to the deadlines.
    • To pay the entire amount of the purchase the client planned to use money got from the sale of his property in Jurmala. Both copies of the sales agreement were already signed, but due to unforeseen circumstances, there was a delay in the client’s obtaining of one million euro as the security for the sale of his property. By that time the deadline for the remaining amount for the purchase of the property in Nice came; otherwise the client risked losing his pledge.

    • We were in the full control of the deal with Jurmala property sale, and we knew when the client would receive the money. So we gave him an unsecured overdraft in the amount of $ 500 thousand euros short. The loan was approved by the Credit Committee and issued to the client within two hours.

      The same day the seller in Nice received the money.
