Expand Register Note Taking into account what we have explained above, here are a few recommendations: 1. If you purchase the house through a Real Estate Agent, they should provide you with all of the documentation and ensure that everything is in good order. You may hire an advisor or a lawyer who you trust to carry out this work for you. In that case, they should also check that all necessary requirements are met for a problem-free purchase.

Request a register note from the area's property register. The register note will feature all of the registered information pertaining to the house, the size of its plot, the area of the dwelling, whether it is mortgaged or there are attachments on the plot. It is important that the note be as up-to-date as possible. The property register will issue the certificate in approximately three days.

Once you are sure you have found the flat or the house of your dreams, or the property that you have been searching for, and once you have a firm agreement with the seller, whether directly or through an agency, it is very important to have a purchase contract properly drawn up. The contract should put in writing all of the conditions agreed between the two parties, formalising all of the details. Generally speaking, when a purchase contract is made, a deposit is normally agreed (which may be non-refundable). Depending on how the deposit is set out in the contract, there may be different consequences as a result of a failure to comply with the contract. Normally, the deposit amount ranges from 5 to 10% of the agreed purchase price.
