Buying a flat? Read the title deed first
Author Stefan Radanović Attorney, partner · property and companies
A deposit is paid under a pre-contract, and a pre-contract is written only once we know exactly what you are buying.
What we check
- who is registered as the owner and of what share
- whether there is a mortgage, a pending dispute or a ban on sale
- whether the flat is registered with an occupancy permit
- whether the area in the deed matches the real one
If something is off, it is fixed before signing: afterwards it costs more and takes longer.
