What buyers should ask before relying on title, deed, contract or transfer information.
Topics
- title/deed status
- contract review
- completion status
- permission questions
- independent lawyer checks
Questions to ask
- What title or deed status is currently documented for this exact property?
- Is the property completed, under construction, resale, off-plan or part of a larger site?
- Who is the seller and what contract history exists?
- Are there site, management, maintenance or shared-facility obligations?
- Which independent lawyer will review the file before I rely on any legal conclusion?
Evidence to request
- Current property reference
- Seller or developer file summary
- Documented title/deed status
- Completion or construction status
- Known site or management obligations
Warning signs
- Only verbal answers are offered for title or contract questions.
- The property is described as simple, but no current file can be produced.
- You are pushed to reserve before a lawyer has reviewed the property file.
Rules, fees, limits and timing can change and may depend on nationality, property type, contract date and title status. Use this as buyer preparation, then ask an independent qualified lawyer or adviser to confirm current legal, tax, residency, insurance and transfer questions before relying on conclusions.
