Completion

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Should I have the promissory contract reviewed before paying the deposit?

Yes. The promissory contract creates significant obligations and consequences, so it should be reviewed before signature and payment.

Is the permanent land registry certificate sufficient?

It is a key document, but the transaction may require further information about the property, parties, licences, taxes, financing and rights of first refusal.

Does the lawyer replace the bank or estate agent?

No. Legal support has its own role: assessing rights, obligations, contractual risks and completion of the transaction.
