Checked paperwork, before you decide
The most expensive mistakes in buying property are in the paperwork, not the square metres. So we check it before a listing goes live and give it to you before you decide.
Where buyers abroad most often get stuck
Problem
Who really owns it?
The seller is not always the registered owner.
What we do: We get the land registry extract and check that the owner matches the seller.
Problem
Is the property charged?
A mortgage, a dispute note or a pre-registration can survive the sale.
What we do: We see charges in the extract and tell you up front what has to be cleared before the contract.
Problem
Was everything built legally?
An added floor or an enclosed balcony is often missing from the papers.
What we do: We check legalisation and permits and say clearly what differs.
Problem
You do not understand the documents
Extracts and decisions are written in legal language.
What we do: We explain what they say, in English, without jargon.
