Legal Check-up Before Buying Real Estate

Have you checked the title deed record (with a current copy) for mortgages, liens or annotations?

Have you verified that the seller is the true owner or a duly authorized representative?

Have you checked the property's zoning status and occupancy permit (iskan)?

Have you obtained confirmation from the building/site management that there is no outstanding dues debt?

If you are making a sale-promise agreement or advance payment, do you plan to have it executed in notarized form?

If buying a property under a build-for-land arrangement or still under construction, have you reviewed the contract between the contractor and the landowner?
