Focused, practical checks before you commit

Title and encumbrance verification

We examine land registry extracts, mortgage entries, easements and annotations to identify legal encumbrances that could affect your intended use or transfer of the apartment.

Contract and annex scrutiny

Sale contracts, payment schedules, inventories of fixtures and building regulations are reviewed to highlight clauses that may be unclear, atypical or require amendment prior to signing.

Coordination with notary and lender

We prepare concise reference notes for the notary and, where needed, liaise with mortgage advisors so that the notarial process reflects the negotiated commercial terms and legal observations.
