What we offer
Description
Title Deed Verification
Verification of property ownership and any encumbrances or obligations that may affect the property, such as mortgages or liens. This is done in two stages:
- Initial title check to confirm ownership and identify any existing encumbrances.
- A second, more detailed review shortly before the transaction is finalized to ensure the title remains clear and consistent with the initial findings.
Land Registry Record Check
Confirmation of the accuracy of land registry records to avoid future disputes and correction of any errors found in the registry.
Claims and Litigation Search
Investigation into any third-party claims or ongoing legal disputes that could affect the property purchase.
Co-Ownership Issues
In cases of shared ownership, we examine co-ownership agreements, regulations, and any existing disputes among co-owners.
Preliminary Purchase Agreement
Drafting or reviewing the preliminary agreement of sale with clear terms and conditions, ensuring client interests are protected in case the transaction is not completed.
Contract Registration
Monitoring the registration process of the deed at the Land Registry or Cadastre to confirm that the transfer of ownership has been successfully completed.
Building Permits and Urban Planning Compliance
Reviewing permits and construction regulations to ensure that the property complies with all legal and zoning requirements.
Tax Advice
Providing tax advice regarding the obligations arising from the property purchase, as well as informing you of any tax exemptions or incentives that may apply.
Legal Reports and Due Diligence Documentation
Following the legal due diligence process, we issue a detailed legal report outlining the findings, assessing the property’s legal status, and offering clear recommendations for next steps.
