Buying a property is a significant step - both legally and financially. To avoid surprises later on, buyers should carefully check all relevant documents before the notary appointment. Those who are well prepared will make better decisions and protect themselves from unnecessary risks.
Land register extract: Clarity about the ownership structure
The extract from the land register provides information on ownership, encumbrances and third-party rights. Particularly important: Are there any registered land charges, rights of way or residential rights? Such entries remain in place even after the purchase and should be known in advance.
Declaration of division and community regulations
When buying a condominium, the declaration of division and the community regulations are essential. Among other things, they regulate special usage rights, maintenance obligations and voting procedures in the building. If you read them carefully, you will avoid later conflicts with the community of owners.
Minutes and business plan
The latest minutes of the owners' meeting provide information on planned renovations, the amount of reserves and possible conflicts. The property management's economic plan also shows the costs to be incurred by the buyer - an important aspect for financial planning.
Building description and energy certificate
The construction documents are particularly important for new buildings or renovated properties: What materials were used? How is the insulation constructed? The energy performance certificate completes the picture and provides information on the energy status of the building.
Conclusion
Well-informed buyers are more relaxed when they go to the notary. Checking all documents carefully and clarifying open points protects you from unpleasant surprises - and creates a solid basis for a secure real estate transaction.
