Paying the sale price, receiving a signed document and becoming the registered owner are different stages. For registration, the legal basis, parties' authority and completion of necessary documents are examined together.

The Registration Request and Authority

A request by the property owner or authorised representative must document authority to dispose and the legal basis. A power of attorney's scope and compatibility with the transaction matter as much as its existence. Missing documents, incorrect property details or absence of required permission may affect the application. Preparation involves more than booking an appointment.

Legal Basis and Form

Statutory formal requirements for agreements intended to transfer property are assessed. An estate agency form, ordinary written protocol or payment receipt does not invariably replace a transfer of ownership. A personal right arising from a promise of sale must also be distinguished from an existing right in rem. Registration based on a court decision or statutory acquisition may require different documents.

After Completion

The journal and new entry are checked to confirm that the transaction concerns the intended property and share. Removal of existing encumbrances or completion of payment flows may require separate procedures. Completion of a title transfer does not establish performance of every other contractual obligation.

Documents to Prepare for an Initial Review

Send each document in its entirety as held by you, rather than only its first page or a screenshot. We determine, according to the file, what authority is needed to obtain missing official records. The following records are helpful at the outset:

  • Identity and representation documents
  • Full property details
  • Agreement and underlying documents
  • Necessary permissions or decisions
  • Payment arrangements

Why Do the Particular Circumstances Matter?

For example, preparation for transfer under an old agreement showing a different independent-unit number should not proceed without connecting it to the present entry. Which property and share will be transferred is clarified first, followed by the legal and financial conditions.
