Buying a house is an important step that requires attention and preparation. The notary is a key point of reference to ensure the security of the transaction.
Questions to ask the notary before the purchase:
- What documents are required for the transaction? The notary verifies the cadastral, urban planning, and mortgage compliance of the property.
- What taxes and fees will I have to pay? Costs vary depending on the type of property and the buyer’s status (first home, second home, commercial property).
- Does the property have any encumbrances or mortgages? The notary performs checks to ensure the buyer doesn’t face any unpleasant surprises.
- What are the timelines for the procedure? The timing depends on the availability of the documents and the necessary checks.
These questions allow you to approach the purchase with greater awareness and peace of mind.
