A reservation deposit is paid to secure the property for a set period, during which legal and technical assessments occur. If any issues arise, the deposit is refunded.
Step 3: Legal Due Diligence & Technical Survey | Your lawyer conducts thorough legal due diligence, verifying property status and managing formalities. Simultaneously, a technical survey ensures structural integrity and identifies potential issues. Based on findings, your lawyer advises on proceeding and drafts the purchase contract.
Step 4: Private Purchase Contract | Collaborating with the seller’s lawyer, your attorney prepares the private purchase contract, detailing sale conditions and payment terms. A downpayment, ( usually 10% of the agreed purchase price ) including the earlier reservation deposit, is made upon signing, marking a binding agreement.
Step 5: Signing the Purchase Deed | Completion occurs at a notary public, where the purchase deed is finalized. Your lawyer oversees the process, ensuring accuracy before signing. Payment of the remaining purchase price is facilitated, typically via bankers draft or bank transfer.
Step 6: After Sales | Following completion, your lawyer handles tax declaration, title deed registration, and owner name changes. If absent, a power of attorney can authorize representation for these tasks.
In Conclusion Preparation and engaging reliable professionals are crucial for a successful purchase. Understanding associated costs and taxes beforehand mitigates surprises.
