Legal Line Question of the Week: Transfer Taxes and Grossed up Consideration

Image
Legal Line Question of the Week - REBNYTransfer Taxes and Grossed up ConsiderationI represent the prospective purchaser of a new construction condominium 
unit. In speaking with the sales office for the sponsor, I was informed that 
my purchaser is responsible for paying both the New York City and 
New York State transfer taxes.  I thought that the obligation to pay transfer 
taxes was the responsibility of the seller.  Can you please explain?

purchase price).  The New York State transfer tax is .4% of the purchase

A design revolution in New York City is taking place, as the Chelsea neighborhood transforms from a derelict wasteland to a thriving nexus of art and architecture. The Hotel Americano, the first U.S. outpost of the splashy Mexican hotel chain Grupo Habita, recently materialized on Manhattan’s West 27th Street. It’s situated between 10th and 11th Avenues, at the northern frontier of the Chelsea art district, in the middle of a block best known for its cacophonous, warehouse-scale nightclubs. Why, you might wonder, would anyone want to build a hotel here? But the unpromising appearance of the location is part of the allure. “It’s gritty,” says owner Carlos Couturier, “and I like that grittiness. It feels like what the Meatpacking District was ten years ago. Very authentic.” Yes, Way-West-27th is authentic—some of the nearest residents are in a cluster of city-owned housing projects—but here, as elsewhere in Manhattan, grit is an endangered species. Just down the block from the hotel is t…
