The property sale process is finalised before a Notary, with the buyer and seller signing the Deed of Sale. The Notary is a public official. His or her duty consists in identifying the buyer and the seller, and ensuring that all legal requirements have been met, and that the amount due to be paid has been settled.

If you are unable to be present in the finalising of the deeds, we take care of it by means of a power of attorney, which means we can carry out all necessary procedures in your name. In fact, and for our client’s peace of mind, it is common practice at our company to have a valid power of attorney at the beginning of all buying and/or selling operations.

TAKING POSSESSION AND HANDING OVER OF KEYS
Immediately after the deeds have been signed, the buyer is handed the property keys, and can take possession of the property.

FINAL TITLE DEEDS AND PROPERTY REGISTRATION
The property registration procedure entails the payment of all the taxes applicable to the property and the obtention of the final register stamp for the Title Deeds, which guarantees the transfer of the property. This procedure is an important step, and takes place just after you have taken possession of your property.

UTILITIES
Immediately after the sale has been finalised, we take care of ensuring all the property’s utility contracts (electricity, water, rubbish collection, etc.) are under your name. We will also arrange all your bills to be paid by direct debit to your account.

COLLECTING DOCUMENTS
Once the Property Register has returned the Title Deeds, we will arrange the best time for you to collect it from our offices, together with the rest of documents you must keep.
